  Good Neighbor policy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The "Good Neighbor" policy was the policy of the United States Administration of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt in relation to Latin America and Europe during 1933-45, when the active U.S. intervention of previous decades was moderated in pursuit of hemispheric solidarity against external threats.
In reference to Europe during the beginning of WWII, Roosevelt likened the good neighbor policy to the belief that if your neighbor's house is on fire, you don't stop to barter over the price of your garden hose.
The policy was not explicitly contrary to the Roosevelt Corollary which it effectively superseded, but its tone foreshadowed a more co-operative approach to the resolution of hemispheric problems.

Bad neighbor policies over the past four decades had undermined any natural solidarity based on proximity and similar histories, and many countries were hostile to the United States, believing that it—more than Germany —was the bad neighbor, the aggressor, and the imperialist.
The Good Neighbor Policy of non-interventionism and respect was replaced in 1947 by a national security strategy that led to a sordid history of covert operations, Pentagon/CIA-engineered coups, U.S. military invasions and occupations, and close relations between Washington and the most repressive and reactionary forces in the region.
Far from reviving the good neighbor policies of mutual gain and respect that prevailed before the alarmism and militarism of the Cold War, current leaders in Washington have indicated their intention to retain many of the divisive attitudes that characterized the 1980s.

 Good Neighbor Policy
In December Roosevelt stated, "The definite policy of the United States from now on is one opposed to armed intervention." In 1934 at Roosevelt’s direction the 1903 treaty with Cuba (based on the Platt amendment) that gave the United States the right to intervene to preserve internal stability or independence was abrogated.
Although domestic economic problems and World War II diverted attention from the Western Hemisphere, Roosevelt’s Good Neighbor policy represented an attempt to distance the United States from earlier interventionist policies, such as the Roosevelt Corollary and military interventions in the region during the 1910s and 1920s.

Of those polled, 91 percent feel that it is either very important or somewhat important to get to know their neighbors; 89 percent know the names of at least some – if not all – of their immediate neighbors; and 45 percent have shared a meal with some of these neighbors.
But some neighbors were already devising ways to develop deeper bonds and counteract the impersonal nature of America's fast-paced society, where people shuttle from the seclusion of office cubicles to that of their homes, with computers and automatic-garage-door openers thwarting human interaction.

 FDR on the Good Neighbor Policy
There is inspiration in the thought that on this day the attention of the citizens of the twenty-one Republics of America is focused on the common ties-historical, cultural, economic, and social-which bind them to one another.
The essential qualities of a true Pan Americanism must be the same as those which constitute a good neighbor, namely, mutual understanding, and, through such understanding, a sympathetic appreciation of the other's point of view.
In this spirit the people of every Republic on our continent are coming to a deep understanding of the fact that the Monroe Doctrine, of which so much has been written and spoken for more than a century was and is directed at the maintenance of independence by the peoples of the continent.

The Good Neighbor policy came from both Republican president Herbert Hoover (1929-33) and Franklin D. Roosevelt (1933-45), for the United States realized that its military interventions in Latin America were counter-productive.
Hoover began the switch in policy; FDR baptized, publicized, and glamorized it.
The real test of whether the policy had changed was not how the US reacted to the big Latin American countries, for it had never sent troops into them, but the small nations of the Caribbean region.

 Good Neighbor Policy
The Good Neighbor Policy phrase was coined by President Herbert Hoover, not President Franklin Roosevelt.

During The Hoover Administration, policies were put into place to improve relations, such as the Clark Memorandum of 1930 in which the State Department retracted Theodore Roosevelt's Corollary to the 1823 Monroe Doctrine, which declared that only the United States could collect debts owed to foreigners by countries in the Western Hemisphere.

Before we try to see whether the Good Neighbor policy is a success or not, we should know what it is. President Roosevelt gave the policy its name in March 1933, when he stated in his first inaugural address:
“In the field of world policy, I would dedicate this Nation to the policy of the good neighbor—the neighbor who resolutely respects himself and, because he does so, respects the rights of others—the neighbor who respects his obligations and respects the sanctity of agreements in and with a world of neighbors.
This policy rests, then, on the simple principles that nations should not intervene in the affairs of other nations and that their relations should be to the benefit of both.
