You are cordially invited to a panel discussion focused on current political developments in Latin America. During this session, we will examine contemporary political trends in countries such as Mexico, Cuba, Peru, and Argentina, while exploring the various challenges facing contemporary Latin American democracies. The discussion will also address the depth of polarization between the emerging radical right and its opponents, as well as the extent to which the region is affected by culture wars and the policies of the U.S. administration.
Furthermore, the panel will provide insights into what can be expected in future U.S.–Mexican relations and the future of the Cuban regime. We will also focus on identifying the underlying sources of chronic instability in Peru and evaluate Argentina’s performance under the leadership of Javier Milei.
