Heine Interviewed on “Active Non-Alignment and Latin America”

Ambassador Jorge Heine, Research Professor at the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University, was interviewed on Mundoplus on his latest book El No Alineamiento Activo y América Latina: una doctrina para el nuevo siglo (Active Non-Alignment and Latin America: A Doctrine for the New Century).

In his remarks, Heine discusses the argument in his book for active non-alignment for Latin America. The book explores the double challenge confronting Latin America today: the worst crisis in 120 years caused by the pandemic, and the emerging new Cold War between the United States and China with Latin America caught in the middle. In this predicament, he argues that Active Non-Alignment emerges as the best option for the region.
