Shifter: ‘La región no está en crisis, pero sí parece estancada y sin ideas’
Para Michael Shifter, la gran lección que ha aprendido América Latina es que no puede depender de liderazgos externos.
US Policy
Although the United States’ relationship with Latin America has changed profoundly in recent years, the US remains a vital partner to many Latin American nations. Its foreign and domestic policies on a range of issues, including drugs and immigration, bear deep implications for the region. The Inter-American Dialogue closely monitors Washington’s relationship with its neighbors and provides leaders from across the Western Hemisphere with an open forum for exchange. Our timely and incisive analysis seeks to build hemispheric consensus on divisive policy challenges and spark new conversations on pressing issues.

Strongmen Have the Edge With Trump. Why Not Maduro?

The U.S. must have more skin in the game in the Venezuelan crisis. In order to play the role of regional leader, the U.S. will have to have a strong leg to stand on. And a domestic migration policy that’s seen as so toxic by the very countries that are being asked to assume some of these burdens I think can only handicap the United States capacity to play that role effectively.
President Trump has been admirably restrained with AMLO. But restraint is not his strength. The goodwill that today should be celebrated might be short-lived.
