The CIGI book, Which Way Latin America? Hemispheric Politics Meets Globalization, edited by CIGI distinguished fellows Andrew F. Cooper and Jorge Heine, continues to attract international attention and praise, most recently in reviews that appeared in The Hindu, one of India’s leading dailies, and Americas Quarterly, the influential journal of the Americas Society in the United States.
In the book, some of the world’s leading Latin Americanists explore the ways in which the region has re-engaged globalization. What is the relationship of China and India with Latin America? Has increased international political cooperation among Latin nations changed their foreign policy towards other regions and on specific issue areas, such as election monitoring and the ongoing dilemma in Haiti? How have the different “Lefts,” as exemplified by the governments of Chávez and Lula, shaped the region? What is the outlook of new entities such as UNASUR, the South American Union of Nations, and how have old entities such as the Organization of American States fared?
