- Summary:
- In this 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?
