Dramatic economic and political crises have coincided in countries like Brazil and Venezuela. Still, the final result for Latin America may be the emergence of centrist, pragmatic modes of governance, and with them, opportunities for the U.S. to improve relations. The new administration must look beyond the neoliberal model of the 1990s, and develop an approach to relations fit for the 21st century.
Trump vs. Clinton: Moment of Truth
Without question, what is at stake in this election are two entirely different ways of understanding the United States and its role in the world.
