Book Synopsis The Routledge Handbook of Latin American Development by : Julie Cupples
Download or read book The Routledge Handbook of Latin American Development written by Julie Cupples and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-12-07 with total page 731 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Routledge Handbook of Latin American Development seeks to engage with comprehensive, contemporary, and critical theoretical debates on Latin American development. The volume draws on contributions from across the humanities and social sciences and, unlike earlier volumes of this kind, explicitly highlights the disruptions to the field being brought by a range of anti-capitalist, decolonial, feminist, and ontological intellectual contributions. The chapters consider in depth the harms and suffering caused by various oppressive forces, as well as the creative and often revolutionary ways in which ordinary Latin Americans resist, fight back, and work to construct development defined broadly as the struggle for a better and more dignified life. The book covers many key themes including development policy and practice; neoliberalism and its aftermath; the role played by social movements in cities and rural areas; the politics of water, oil, and other environmental resources; indigenous and Afro-descendant rights; and the struggles for gender equality. With contributions from authors working in Latin America, the US and Canada, Europe, and New Zealand at a range of universities and other organizations, the handbook is an invaluable resource for students and teachers in development studies, Latin American studies, cultural studies, human geography, anthropology, sociology, political science, and economics, as well as for activists and development practitioners.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume examines the foreign policy transition from George W. Bush to Barack H. Obama in relation to the countries of the Americas. In this work, contributors consider the major defining features of their respective policies in dealing with security-related issues. Specifically, they examine whether major differences or continuities truly exist between the foreign policies of Bush and Obama, especially given the perception of American decline. The volume highlights Obama’s foreign policy in the Americas, focusing on issue areas that threaten international security, such as drug trafficking, organized crime, and terrorism. This work provides both theoretical and policy insights for academics and policy analysts interested in foreign affairs.

Book Synopsis A New Struggle for Independence in Modern Latin America by : Pablo A. Baisotti
Download or read book A New Struggle for Independence in Modern Latin America written by Pablo A. Baisotti and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-09-30 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores several notable themes related to foreign affairs in Latin America and the reconfiguration of the power of the different states in the region. It offers insightful historical perspectives for understanding national, regional and global issues from the beginning of the 20th century to the present day, from analysis of the traditional "hegemony" of the United States over Latin America through its military, and political influence due to the presence of the European Union, Russia, and China. These views cannot be reduced to a simplistic vision of the dominant and subordinate; rather, they attempt to seek lines of continuity by highlighting traditional interpretations of new scenarios such as regional trading and security blocs. The volume refuses to impose a traditional and uncritical linear historical narrative onto the reader but instead proposes an alternative interpretation of the past and its relation to the present. Finally, the growing importance of international mechanisms in enabling the success of certain Latin American regimes is also highlighted, in particular the influence of regional diffusion through international organizations or other networks.
Book Synopsis Contemporary U.S.-Latin American Relations by : Jorge I. Domínguez
Download or read book Contemporary U.S.-Latin American Relations written by Jorge I. Domínguez and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-02 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on the research and experience of fifteen internationally recognized Latin America scholars, this insightful text presents an overview of inter-American relations during the first two decades of the twenty-first century. This unique collection identifies broad changes in the international system that have had significant effects in the Western Hemisphere, including issues of politics and economics, the securitization of U.S. foreign policy, balancing U.S. primacy, the wider impact of the world beyond the Americas, especially the rise of China, and the complexities of relationships between neighbors. The second edition of Contemporary U.S.-Latin American Relations focuses on U.S. neighbors near and far —Mexico, Cuba, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Peru, and Venezuela. Each chapter addresses a country’s relations with the United States, and each considers themes that are unique to that country’s bilateral relations as well as those themes that are more general to the relations of Latin America as a whole. The book also features new chapters on transnational criminal violence, the Latino diasporas in the United States, and U.S.-Latin American migration. This cohesive and accessible volume is required reading for Latin American politics students and scholars alike.

Book Synopsis Mexico-United States Relations by : Arturo Santa-Cruz
Download or read book Mexico-United States Relations written by Arturo Santa-Cruz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-09-10 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sovereignty is a key factor to consider when studying the Mexico-United States relationship. During most of the twentieth century, as a result of the new character of the Mexican post-revolutionary regime, there was a decoupling between the state’s maximalist discourse on sovereignty, and its practice. Sovereignty as an undifferentiated whole does not exist; it should instead be disaggregated into the myriad issue areas in which it is constantly negotiated. Focusing on a tripartite classification relating to the construction of Mexico’s sovereignty towards its northern neighbor since 1920, this volume illustrates how Mexico’s sovereignty has varied not only according to the times, but also according to the issues at stake. In doing so, Arturo Santa-Cruz comprehensively covers a variety of issues in the bilateral agenda such as drug trafficking, electoral observation, human rights, investment, migration, security, and trade, as well as some defining moments in the relationship, such as the 1923 US granting of recognition to the Mexican post-revolutionary regime, the 1938 oil nationalization, the 1982 debt crisis, and the 1995 financial bailout. These diverse cases, analyzed through an original analytical approach, capture sovereignty’s multifocal meaning.
Book Synopsis La presencia de China en el hemisferio occidental by : Guadalupe Paz
Download or read book La presencia de China en el hemisferio occidental written by Guadalupe Paz and published by Libros del Zorzal. This book was released on 2009 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Con la visita del Presidente Hu Jintao en noviembre de 2004 a América Latina, China hizo saber al resto del mundo su creciente interés por la región. El avance hacia el así llamado “patio trasero” de Estados Unidos generó preocupación en el círculo político de ese país, ya que este movimiento podría desafiar la primacía norteamericana en el hemisferio occidental. Algunos analistas, sin embargo, ven el noviazgo de China con América Latina como algo natural debido a su necesidad largoplacista de commodities y soluciones en materia energética. La presencia de China en el hemisferio occidental presenta una exposición reveladora y multidisciplinaria de esta relación triangular, así como también las motivaciones que subyacen a cada uno de los implicados. Con ese objetivo, expertos de América Latina, China, Europa y los Estados Unidos reflexionan acerca de las ramificaciones del surgimiento de China como potencia mundial. A lo largo de los capítulos se compagina un marco para anticipar aspectos relacionados con la seguridad en materia económica y energética en la relación entre China y América Latina. Este informado análisis de la política desplegada por China en el hemisferio provee al lector de un panorama exhaustivo, centrándose en un aspecto particularmente sensible de su pacífico ascenso.

Book Synopsis Not Condemned To Repetition by : Robert Pastor
Download or read book Not Condemned To Repetition written by Robert Pastor and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-02-13 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through the fall of Anastasio Somoza, the rise of the Sandinistas, and the contra war, the United States and Nicaragua seemed destined to repeat the mistakes made by the U.S. and Cuba forty years before. The 1990 election in Nicaragua broke the pattern. Robert Pastor was a major US policymaker in the critical period leading up to and following the Sandinista Revolution of 1979. A decade later after writing the first edition of this book, he organized the International Mission led by Jimmy Carter that mediated the first free election in Nicaragua's history. From his unique vantage point, and utilizing a wealth of original material from classified government documents and from personal interviews with U.S. and Nicaraguan leaders, Pastor shows how Nicaragua and the United States were prisoners of a tragic history and how they finally escaped. This revised and updated edition covers the events of the democratic transition, and it extracts the lessons to be learned from the past.

Book Synopsis Geopolitical Landscapes of Donald Trump by : Carlos Heredia-Zubieta
Download or read book Geopolitical Landscapes of Donald Trump written by Carlos Heredia-Zubieta and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-10-14 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geopolitical Landscapes of Donald Trump examines the role that local actors in Mexico, Central America and the United States have played in shaping the Mexico-Guatemala transborder region. From governments to business and organized crime, scholars from both Mexico and the United States introduce a sophisticated approach beyond diplomatic communiqués to tell the story of how Mexico became the wall that Donald Trump promised to build. This is a story of how governments defended their sovereignty in their discourse, only to pave the way for punitive policies that hurt their fellow citizens. The inequalities brought by the extractive economy, the homicides and displacement wrought by the systemic violence, the exodus pushed by environmental degradation and the political crisis generated by economic, political, and military elites need to be addressed to make the transborder region livable for its own population. Geopolitical Landscapes of Donald Trump will be of interest to scholars and students of international relations and Latin American Studies. It will also be of interest to policymakers, practitioners, and general readers who are following US-Mexico and US-Central America relations.
