El libro busca hacer un balance de donde se encuentra América Latina en una serie de temas cruciales: desarrollo socioeconómico, seguridad y violencia, estado de derecho, crecimiento económico, integración regional y relaciones con el mundo.
No dia 10 de junho foi realizado, em parceria com o Instituto Igarapé, o evento “Diálogo sobre os desafios da segurança e democracia no Brasil e na América Latina”, em conjunto com o lançamento da publicação “Unfulfilled Promises”, que aborda diversos temas relacionados à América Latina.
El estudio analiza los avances del proyecto Sistema de Interconexión Eléctrica de los Países de América Central (SIEPAC) y enumera los obstáculos que a la fecha impiden su exitosa implementación. El autor aborda los desafíos tanto políticos como económicos que enfrentan los países centroamericanos y proponen un plan de acción que incluye medidas para facilitar la coordinación internacional, fortalecer a las instituciones que encabezan el desarrollo y operación de la matriz eléctrica regional, y crear un marco seguro para el surgimiento de nuevos contratos de largo plazo.
Over the past decade, many Latin American governments have made significant strides in developing domestic policies that have succeeded in reducing poverty and strengthening democratic institutions. Yet the impact of profound transformations in the global economy, climate change, and new information and communication technologies makes it clear that the region’s future will be inextricably connected to developments taking place beyond the borders of individual nations.

Lisa Viscidi tells Richard Miles of CSIS that reforms are already in place that will enable oil production “to take off.” The real obstacles are the financial stability of Petrobras, the shaky state oil conglomerate, and the monopoly that the state has on most aspects of energy production, delivery, and even retail sales.
How much do the Western Hemisphere’s two largest economies and most populous countries, Brazil and the United States, redistribute through social spending and taxes? Although the United States has an income per capita four times as large as Brazil’s, the countries share similarities that make this comparison interesting.
Rather than building a robust partnership with the United States, Bolsonaro’s current trajectory may end up with Brazil facing a largely indifferent Washington. Yes, Trump did declare this week that he wants a free trade deal with Brazil, but even if Brazil can find a way around Mercosur’s rules and begin to pursue a bilateral accord, negotiations will take several years to complete. A successful outcome is not out of the question, but it will require to thoroughly overhaul its highly protected economy, which is among the most insular in the world.
