Abstract
In the late 1930’s the Good Neighbor policy of the United States was put to a test by the governments of Bolivia and Mexico in their confiscation of foreign oil holdings for alleged violations of the law of their respective countries. Mexico was considered to be the first real test of the Good Neighbor policy, yet the little known Bolivian confiscation of the Standard Oil company of New Jersey holdings preceded it by a year. The purpose of this study is to examine in depth the situation as it occurred in Bolivia.
