Setting The Agenda: Asia And Latin America In The 21st Century, Ariel C. Armony Oct 2012

Setting The Agenda: Asia And Latin America In The 21st Century, Ariel C. Armony

Center for Latin American Studies Publications

Latin America and Asia are among the world’s fastest growing regions. Trade between Asia and Latin American and Caribbean countries has risen dramatically in recent years. It is undeniable that Asia now plays a formidable role in the economic development of the region. This publication emerges out of the University of Miami’s 2012 “Asia and Latin America in the 21st Century” conference, where leaders from academic, policy, business, and media communities from around the world convened to address the macroeconomic trends, trade relations, and sociopolitical trends that have emerged as the links between Asia and Latin America strengthen.

La Alianza Cubano-Venezolana:¿”Neobolivarianismo Emancipador” O Expansión Del Totalitarismo?, Hernán Yánez

Institute for Cuban & Cuban-American Studies Occasional Papers

El estudio examina algunos de los antecedentes, así como los principales fundamentos ideológicos y de pragmatismo político que subyacen en la nueva alianza cubanovenezolana, incluido el eje político continental que Castro y Chávez intentan consolidar ahora en América Latina, según los lineamientos de un “nuevo mapa estratégico” y el financiamiento básicamente proveniente de la llamada diplomacia del petróleo de Hugo Chávez. Se subrayan ciertas coincidencias con el caso cubano, presentes en los métodos y secuencia para el ascenso al poder por Hugo Chávez, aportando además elementos de juicio sobre las etapas más tempranas de la colaboración del régimen de Castro …

Twelve Monkeys : Cuban National Defense And The Military, Enrique A. Baloyra

Cuban Studies Association Occasional Papers

There is little that may be written about the Cuban regime, other than about its very nature, that is not quickly contradicted by reality. At the same time, the Cuban leadership's approach to the Lampedussa riddle is a lot of running in place and no real discontinuity. Which is actually more relevant? Is it possible to come to some sensible conclusions about contemporary Cuba? But readers beware: in Cuban politics anecdotes and events always suggest contradictory patterns. Discussion of matters present and future requires that these contradictions be considered jointly. This is what a brilliant essay of Antonio Benitez-Rojo alerts …
