La literatura de Ciencia Política sobre política exterior en Amé-
rica Latina es extensa y rica en estudios de casos, pero débil en
teoría y trabajos con extensos. Esto ha limitado sensiblemente
la comparación entre países y ha reducido la capacidad para
identificar en la región regularidades, tendencias y patrones
de política exterior. Así, se cuenta con buenas historias, ricas
en detalles, pero con pocos datos sistemáticos para construir
explicaciones robustas acerca de la política exterior en América
Latina. Buscando corregir este déficit, nuestra investigación se dirige a examinar las orientaciones de política exterior en
América Latina entre 1980 y 2014 en diecinueve países de
América Latina. A partir de juicios, expertos sobre posiciones
de política exterior de presidentes de América Latina estimamos
las posiciones de los presidentes en cuatro dimensiones
de política exterior: estilo de política exterior, orientación
geopolítica, orientación económica y relación con los Estados
Unidos de América. En este texto presentamos el estado de la
cuestión, la metodología utilizada y los primeros resultados
estadísticos agregados

The opening of diplomatic relations between the United States and Cuba, a momentous change in Latin American regional affairs, raises the question of whether and how the United States will be able to use its new position vis-à-vis Cuba to support political reform and opening there. A potentially critical, yet still largely unexplored, dimension of this question is whether the major Latin American powers can play a bridging role, taking advantage of their efforts in recent years to include Cuba in different regional forums and organizations to provide a pro-reform push at this important new moment. Their willingness and ability to do so is a test of their broader commitment to supporting democracy and human rights throughout the hemisphere.

This paper analyzes the role of think tanks as members of civil society in Latin America. Our goal is to present an initial conceptualization and measurement of the role think tanks play in the foreign policy sub-subsystem. We focus on three of the most influential think tanks in the region: CARI (Argentina), CEBRI (Brazil), and COMEXI (Mexico). This paper suggests that the state’s characteristics and the character of its civil society determine the type and strength of its think tanks. This paper also considers the challenges that think tanks face in Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico more generally by comparing each chosen think tank’s board, public activities, presence in local media and social media, and publications. We conclude that there have yet to be significant incentives and resources available for thinks tanks in Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico to grow and, thus, Latin American think tanks’ activities typically follow their governments’ agendas.

This article examines the strategic positioning of Brazil in South America and how South America relates to Brazil’s rising status both globally and regionally. It does so from the perspective of international society known as the English school. This perspective emphasizes how Brazil shares a number of values and institutions with its neighbors that offer the foundations for a distinct regional international society in South America. It thus challenges the materialist stance held by realism which envisages that secondary powers either balance or bandwagon the dominant pole and affirms instead that South America’s strategies towards Brazil are more complex and nuanced than a simple polarity standpoint suggests.

How can we define and measure what constitutes a foreign policy in human rights? How is it possible to explain both the activism of a state and its ideological orientation in the international promotion of human rights? What is the empirical evidence found when we try to answer these questions in intermediate states?
In this article, we examine patterns of change and continuity in Latin American foreign policies. We do so by asking two interrelated questions: How can we conceptually and empirically account for foreign policy change? And why do states... more
In this article, we examine patterns of change and continuity in Latin American foreign policies. We do so by asking two interrelated questions: How can we conceptually and empirically account for foreign policy change? And why do states change their foreign policies in Latin America? To answer these questions, we used the results of a new expert survey on foreign policy preferences in the region between 1980 and 2014. The results we obtained using both linear and non-parametric regression models are very clear and consistent: presidential ideology and institutions matter the most.
