Monday, October 10, 2016
5:00pm-6:00pm
Room 003, Rockefeller Center
This lecture will address two central questions: how have transformative changes over recent decades and especially in the 21st century - within Latin America, in the global context, and in the United States itself - changed the nature of U.S.-Latin American relations? And, what U.S. premises, concepts and policies need to be reconsidered, taking these changes into account? The presentation will discuss U.S. relations with Mexico, Brazil, Cuba, Venezuela, the Andrean countries, the Southern Cone, and the “near abroad” of Central American and the Caribbean, as well as the key issues of contemporary inter-American relations.
