The article dissects possible shifts in the inter-American system of international relations during Barack Obama’s presidency under the impact of shale gas revolution in the USA. Despite the fact that internal energy revolution can strengthen US political and economic heft in the Western Hemisphere, the system will not develop in the logic of the 20th century. The conclusions made by the author are confirmed by the 2015 National Security Strategy and recent Barack Obama’s remarks at the VII OAS summit in Panamá (2015).
