Building on his Policy Brief "Latin America, World Politics and the Great Powers", Nizar Messari examines how recent developments are reshaping U.S. influence in the region and affecting Latin American countries’ autonomy. He discusses the pressure on Venezuela and Cuba, Brazil’s efforts to diversify its partnerships, and China’s expanding role. The conversation also considers whether dependency theory still helps explain Latin America’s relations with major powers.
