About This Event

Over the past five years, Latin American politics has lurched decidedly to the left. Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Uruguay, and Venezuela now all have left-leaning presidents, and left-leaning candidates are serious contenders in the forthcoming Mexican and Peruvian presidential elections.

Panelists at this event will discuss the underlying reasons for Latin America’s leftward lurch, and the future path of Latin American politics. They will also explore how the U.S. administration might best respond to the region’s political shift and to Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez’s attempts to export his “Bolivarian” revolution.
