Jorge Heine<\/a>, Research Professor at Boston University\u2019s Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies and Interim Director of the\u00a0Frederick S. Pardee Center for the Study of the Longer-Range Future<\/a>, published a\u00a0China Daily\u00a0<\/em>op-ed in which he discusses the state of Sino-Latin American<\/a> relations.<\/span><\/p>\n In his article, titled “Finding the way forward<\/a>,” Heine breaks down how the economic and political relationship between China<\/a> and the various countries of Latin America has deepened in recent years. At a time of economic crisis for the region, Heine notes that Latin America cannot make its trade<\/a> and investment decisions based on ideology but rather do so for sound commercial and business reasons. This is a central tenant of active non-alignment<\/a>, a concept he outlines in his book recent Active Non-Alignment and Latin America: A Doctrine for the New Century<\/em><\/a>. As Heine argues in his conclusion, “taking a page from the traditions of the Non-Aligned Movement but adapting it to the realities of the new century, Active Non-Alignment provides a guide to action for Latin America, and the Global South<\/a> at large, in a world in turmoil.”<\/span><\/p>\n The full article can be read on\u00a0China Daily<\/em>‘s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n Ambassador Jorge Heine<\/a>\u00a0is a Research Professor at the Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University.
