Hare in AFP on the Struggles of the Latin American Left
Amb. Paul Hare, Senior Lecturer at Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University, was recently interviewed on the struggles of the Latin American left following the death of Fidel Castro in Cuba and the election of Donald Trump to the presidency in the United States.
Hare was quoted in a widely-syndicated article in Agence France-Presse on December 14, 2016 entitled “Latin American Left Struggles Post-Castro and Pre-Trump.”
From the text of the article:
After years of playing an outsize role on the world stage, the small country seems to have lost some of its red-hued aura.
That was clear from the absence of big-name world leaders at Fidel’s funeral, says Paul Webster Hare, a former British ambassador to Cuba.
“This suggests that Cuba’s stature is declining,” said Hare, now a professor of international relations at Boston University.
“One can expect the likes of Russia and China to urge Raul to stop sentimentalizing about the old Revolution and get real with reforms of the economy.”
