Ambassador <\/span>Jorge Heine<\/a>,\u00a0Research Professor at the\u00a0<\/span>Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies<\/span> at Boston University, was interviewed for a\u00a0Foreign Policy\u00a0<\/em>article on strategies for Latin America to navigate growing China-United State tensions and facilitate a speedy recovery from the region’s current economic crisis.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the article, titled “Latin America Could Profit From U.S.-China Competition<\/a>,” Heine promotes a strategy of active non-alignment for Latin America, which he thoroughly explores in his latest book El No Alineamiento Activo y Am\u00e9rica Latina: una doctrina para el nuevo siglo<\/em><\/a> (Active Non-Alignment and Latin America: A Doctrine for the New Century). He argues that Latin America can benefit from relations with both the U.S. and China so long as the region avoids choosing a side in the great powers’ confrontations. As Heine states, Latin American countries \u201cshould look at their own interests and put them front and center, rather than being tempted by aligning themselves with one power or the other…This is not a zero-sum situation.\u201d<\/p>\n
