Heine Publishes Chapter in External Powers in Latin America

Ambassador Jorge Heine, Research Professor at the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University, published a chapter in the recently published External Powers in Latin America: Geopolitics between Neo-extractivism and South-South Cooperation.

The book examines the role of external powers in Latin America in the 21st century. Non-traditional partners have significantly increased their political and economic engagement with the continent. The book addresses key international relations issues in today’s Latin America, with 16 chapters on the presence of countries like the United States, China, Russia, Japan, Iran and others.

Heine’s chapter – co-authored by Hari Seshasayee, trade advisor at ProColombia, and titled “From Tagore to IT: India’s changing presence in Latin America” – explores the growing Indo-LAC links, as Latin American becomes a significant destination for India’s car, chemicals and pharmaceutical products, and India absorbs a growing share of Latin American oil, gold, and copper exports. 

Details on External Powers in Latin America can be found on Routledge’s website.
