New Global Context for Latin America:

A Sketch for Discussion

Abstract

IN THE PAPER "NEW WORLD CONTEXT FOR LATIN AMERICA: A SKETCH FOR DISCUSSION", HE SETS OUT HIS GLOBALIZING VISION, ARGUING THAT "THE WORLD POLITICAL SCENARIO IS IN A STAGE OF PROFOUND TRANSITION, CHARACTERIZED BY AN ACCELERATED PROCESS OF READJUSTMENT. THE NEW WORLD ORDER, WHICH IS TAKING SHAPE, IS THE RESULT OF THE BALANCE OF FORCES BETWEEN THREE GREAT POWERS: THE UNITED STATES, JAPAN AND THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY; AND INCLUDES POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC ASPECTS. LATIN AMERICA IS AT A COMPARATIVE DISADVANTAGE IN THIS PROCESS OF CHANGE AND HAS A SHORT-TERM SHADOWY PURPOSE".
