Davos Annual Meeting 2007-Latin America Broadens its Horizon
http://www.weforum.org 27.01.2007 Latin America Broadens Its Horizons Following a series of regional elections, voters in the major Latin American economies have made a clear choice to turn their back on the macroeconomic excesses of the past and resist populist temptations to embrace the challenges and opportunities of the global marketplace. The region's new leaders must now forge fresh approaches while overcoming "reform fatigue". 1) What are the region's major priorities? 2) Will voters support the further liberalization of economies? What significant policy shifts might we expect? 3) How are Latin American leaders adjusting their economies to take advantage of such new factors as rapid growth in Asia? How will Latin America's new export markets impact their foreign policy...

Latin Pulse: U.S. Security and Latin America
(Latin Pulse: 11, August, 2008) A region long considered neglected by U.S foreign policy. At a time when the region is shifting to the political left, is now the focus of renewed interest from U.S. security officials. Is this a strategic move or saber rattling to maintain dominance on what's been called "America's back yard?" Español Una región por largo tiempo considerada descuidada por la política extranjera del Departamento de Estado de los EEUU. Actualmente cuando la región esta experimentando un viraje hacia la izquierda, hay un renovado interés de parte de los oficiales de seguridad del departamento de estado. ¿Es esto parte de una estrategia?
