All items tagged Latin AmericaOpen Think Tank ArticlesMarch 1, 2012 | Benefits and Uses of EU Development AidRavi Sodha: This paper examines the question of who benefits from development aid and what the philanthropic act means within a neo-liberal framework. It will look specifically at EuropeAid and explore whether this policy could be used to pursue different objectives. ... MoreDecember 22, 2011 | Europe and Latin America: A Strategic PartnershipEditorial Team: We currently focus on how to step up bi-regional economic integration between the EU and the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). Our goal is to improve the effectiveness of the EU-LAC “Strategic Partnership” looking forward to the 2012 Summit in Santiago. ... MoreDecember 22, 2011 | An EU-LAC Strategic Partnership? It Takes Two to Tango!Susanne Gratius: The EU is the leading investor in Latin America and the second trading partner, but despite great efforts, the EU is losing the race against China in the region. The next EU-LAC Summit in 2012 in Santiago de Chile should be a great opportunity to put this strategic partnership back on the right track. ... MoreDecember 22, 2011 | Taking the Leap into Latin AmericaCornelia Sonnenberg: Despite tremendous investment opportunities in Latin America, the EU is being relegated to third place after the US and China. To avoid ending up there permanently, Europe’s small and medium-sized enterprises must play a big role in the exchange of experiences, transfers of technology and know-how between both regions. ... MoreDecember 21, 2011 | Rekindling the EU-Latin America PartnershipCarlos Malamud: While the EU deals with its economic crisis and the consequences of enlargement, Latin America continues to speak with a dissonant voice as populist movements fragment the region. Picking up the pieces of an old initiative, the EU-LAC Summits, could go a long way toward getting them both back on track. ... MoreDecember 20, 2011 | China and the EU: Finding "El Dorado" TogetherJiang Shixue: China can support the Strategic Partnership between Europe and Latin America, creating a trilateral relationship through a joint investment fund which would provide needed capital to Europe and support China’s “going global” strategy. But for such a triangulation to be successful, the EU must overcome its fear of China. ... MoreMay 5, 2010 | Brazil and the BombHans Rühle: Brazil is almost certainly developing nuclear weapons. The country’s earlier nuclear weapons programs and the policy of President Lula da Silva’s government suggest that Brazil’s quest for power and international recognition will ultimately lead her to discard her commitment to non-proliferation and put an end to President Obama’s vision of a world free of nuclear weapons. ... MoreFebruary 26, 2009 | Unity in Diversity: EU-US Collaboration in ColombiaDorly Castaneda: European and American approaches to Colombia’s troubled democracy are currently hindered by a lack of coordination. Whilst each party has different interests in the region, Obama’s new multilateralism offers the perfect umbrella under which to use their different leverage powers to secure peace. ... MoreMay 16, 2008 | The Need to Nurture the Latin American-European RelationshipEckart von Klaeden: The “strategic partnership” between the EU and Latin America must be followed up with concrete and substantive political initiatives. The European Union, Latin America, and the United States must work towards a trilateral dialog. ... MoreGlobal Must Read ArticlesJanuary 26, 2012 | Latin America's Economies: Innocent Bystanders?Latin America recovered strongly from the financial crisis of 2008-9, but now the region is feeling the pains of financial stress and dwindling global demand. Nevertheless, the major economies (the LAC-7: Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Chile, Peru, Mexico, and Uruguay) in the region are still expected to perform decently despite a sluggish global economy. February 23, 2009 | Say No to False Democracy, Latin AmericaHugo Chavez continues to “demolish the democratic institutions” that enabled Venezuela its relative successes over the past 40 years. ++ Most worrying is his endorsement of the crippling view that reform and so-called “bourgeois” democracy cannot create social justice: his alternative “reeks of patronage” and has done little to develop the country. ++ As is ... MoreDecember 5, 2008 | Latin America's Economic Boom -- and Hardships AheadThe recent meeting of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) in Peru drew worldwide attention. This was due less to the presence of President George W. Bush in his last international appearance as to the decision on the part of the members to forgo constructing any further economic, protectionist barriers. This comes as especially good news for Latin America’s economy. The majority of Latin ... MoreNovember 28, 2008 | An End to Latin American DragooningA third of the US’ oil, most of its immigrants, and nearly all of its cocaine come from Latin America. ++ President-elect Obama could easily overlook the region as he enters office at such a demanding time; that would be foolish. ++ Given the maladroit leadership of President Bush, little more will be needed than “good sense and sensitivity” to turn the relationship around. ++ ... MoreAugust 6, 2008 | The US Cannot Manage the Hemisphere AnymoreThere are signs that, due to lack of resources and interest, the US is not able to “micromanage the hemisphere” anymore and regional powers such as for instance Brazil are emerging and filling the power vacuum. ++ Interestingly, Canada has more in common with Brazil and the other countries of Latin America than with the US, even if it is aware of the dangers which the rise of the ... MoreApril 12, 2007 | Javier Santiso on the Rise of Latin MultinationalsCheaper access to capital, successful business models and sizable assets are helping Latin American companies—especially from Brazil and Mexico—to take over OECD-based firms. Javier Santiso of Deutsche Bank Research analyzes how Latin American companies, the so-called multilatinas, strive for their share of the global market. Multilatinas like Embraer and Cemex have developed strategies of ... MoreCommentsDecember 22, 2011 | The analysis is excellent.
