This article examines the perception of threat in the creation of a discourse by the administration of President Ronald Reagan in relation to the Sandinista government of Nicaragua. It emphasizes the importance of a parallel with Cuba and the verifiable nature of Nicaraguan armed forces and concludes that, in order to construct its discourse, the Reagan administration made use of legitimate concerns that had previously been dismissed as fallacious by critics. / Graduate / 0336 / nburtonv@uvic.ca
