Latin America in Focus From Elections to Trade, Latin America's Big 2018 Stories
If 2017 was the year that changed the United States, 2018 will be the year that could change Latin America. A wave of elections will wash across the region, with voters choosing between the status quo and a rising tide of outsiders. All of this takes place as the United States increasingly looks inward, sparking questions about NAFTA’s fate and China’s global role. AS/COA Online’s Carin Zissis hosts our first podcast of the year in which Luisa Leme talks with Americas Quarterly’s Brian Winter about the region’s packed electoral calendar, Eric Farnsworth of COA’s Washington office explains why trade will be a headline issue, and Venezuela Working Group head Guillermo Zubillaga tells Holly K. Sonneland that Caracas needs an intervention.
