In Search of a Balanced Relationship: China, Latin America, and the United States
This study focuses on the four stages of Chinese relations with Latin America between 1949 and mid‐2008. Ties during the 1950s were limited but directed toward a broad cross‐section of individual Latin Americans. This was abruptly reversed during the Sino‐Soviet dispute of the 1960s by militant advocacy of guerrilla warfare in Latin America. From the early 1970s until the death of Mao Zedong, militant Maoism was blended with a renewed opening of …
Latin America's Fledgling, Fumbling Democracies
By a small majority, Latin Americans are disposed toward preferring democracy over other forms of government, and for now almost all leaders in the region hold office from elections not military coups. Still, most Latin Americans quite correctly do not believe democracy has generally served their interests, that is, produced the jobs, houses, food, justice, and opportunities more and more people tell pollsters they want for themselves and their f…
A Strategic Flip-Flop in the Caribbean: Lift the Embargo on Cuba
Development and Civil Society in Latin America and Asia
Market reforms began in parts of Asia after World War II and led to macroeconomic policies and governance that brought rapid and fairly evenly shared growth, with an emphasis on promoting capable civil services, community involvement, and good basic education and health. For historical and cultural reasons, reforms began decades later in most of Latin America. To bypass ossified bureaucracies, operating under largely democratic governments with e…
Politics Bends the Law in Latin America: Three Case Studies
Most Latin American governments acknowledge the need for substantial judicial reform. This article focuses on three problems in the implementation of justice during the 1990s. The three case studies touch on four countries – Ecuador, Nicaragua, Mexico and the United States, although the same or similar problems can be found throughout the hemisphere
Judicial Reform: The Neglected Priority in Latin America
Judicial reform is essential in Latin America today where countries lack the legal systems needed to secure democratic rule and facilitate foreign political and economic relations in the emerging world of competition and interaction between nations. Indeed, the crisis in the Latin judiciary today is so profound that it may precipitate reforms that otherwise would be impossible. In this article, we offer new data on views from within judicial sect…

B ETWEEN 1950 AND 1960 the leaders of two major Asian nations, using radically different methods, tried to institute reforms in their countries which would eliminate long-standing political, social, and economic problems. Both of these countries-China and India-were underdeveloped, largely peasant, and had experienced some form of foreign rule or domination for long periods in their past. From the beginning their efforts attracted the attention o…
A New Old Che Guevara Interview
EARLY in 1959 Ernesto Che Guevara, like most of other leaders of Castro willingly talked with many persons who expressed an interest in what had happened and was happening in Cuba. Some of resulting interviews were subsequently published in sources not easily accessible to those studying Latin American affairs and thus have not been consulted by students of revolution. One of these neglected interviews was given by Guevara to two Chinese Communis…
