　　简史
　　巴拿马地峡原为奇布查、加勒比等印第安人部落聚居地。１５０１年沦为西班牙殖民地，属新格兰纳达总督区。１８２１年独立，成为大哥伦比亚共和国的一部分。１８３０年大哥伦比亚共和国解体后，成为新格林纳达（后称哥伦比亚）共和国的一个省。１９０３年美在击败英、法后与哥伦比亚政府签定由美修建和租借运河的条约，哥议会拒绝批准。１９０３年１１月３日美军在巴拿马登陆，策动巴脱离哥伦比亚独立，成立巴拿马共和国。同年１１月１８日美取得修建和经营运河的永久垄断权和运河区的永久使用、占领和控制权并在巴拿马中部的蜂腰地区开凿一条运河，于是，运河区在巴拿马地区成为“国中之国”。二次大战中，美在巴强租１３４处军事基地，１９４７年后陆续归还一部分。１９７７年９月，巴美签署《新运河条约》（又称托里霍斯－卡特条约）。1989年5月大选，执政党和反对派均宣布各自获胜，因而选举结果无效。经美洲国家组织的斡旋，8月31日罗德里格斯出任临时总统。12月15日反对美国占领的诺列加被任命为政府首脑，20日美军入侵巴拿马，21日受美国庇护的原反对派总统候选人恩达拉在美军基地宣誓就任总统。1990年1月，诺列加向美军投降，随后被押往美国受审。1992年11月15日，政府就6月底议会通过的宪法修正案进行全民公决。修正案对宪法的序言及57项条文进行修改。主要内容为取消军队、健全司法制度等。由于65％的选民投了反对票，公决失败，宪法仍继续有效。１９９９年１２月３１日，巴拿马收回运河主权。
