The study of Latin American and Caribbean international relations has a long evolution both within the development of international relations as a general academic undertaking and in terms of the particular characteristics that distinguish the approaches taken by scholars in the field. This handbook provides a thorough multidisciplinary reference guide to the literature on the various elements of the international relations of Latin America and the Caribbean. Citing over 1600 sources that date from the nineteenth century to the present, with emphasis on recent decades, the volume's analytic essays trace the evolution of research in terms of concepts, issues, and themes. The Handbook is a companion volume to Atkins' Latin America and the Caribbean in the International System, Fourth Edition, but also serves as an invaluable stand-alone reference volume for students, scholars, researchers, journalists, and practitioners, both official and private.

Frente a un nuevo contexto global con múltiples actores y sin un multilateralismo efectivo, el sistema multilateral se encuentra hoy en día en crisis. Esto se debe, en gran parte, a la crisis económico financiera que se vive desde el 2008; a menor atención de los Estados Unidos hacia América Latina y otras regiones del mundo y su inercia unilateral; al bloqueo en el sistema de Naciones Unidas y a la baja legitimidad de instituciones emergentes que no logran dar gobernabilidad global. En Occidente se constatan cambios profundos e importantes, como lo es la profundización de las relaciones de América Latina, particularmente de América del Sur, con la región Asia Pacífico; la consolidación de China como socio comercial estratégico relevante para América Latina desplazando a la Unión Europea, entre otros. Además las revoluciones y cambios en los países árabes y los cambios en África reorientan prioridades y tendencias en Europa que sin duda repercuten en América Latina. Esta publicación recoge las ideas centrales expuestas por destacados académicos (as) acerca de los cambios globales y las distintas visiones de países hegemónicos de la región y fuera de ella; así como acerca de las diplomacias de Cumbres como la de APEC, CELAC, de las Américas y la Unión Europea y las ideas expuestas en torno a temas emergentes transnacionales como lo son el cambio climático, la seguridad, la gobernanza, la gobernabilidad y la integración. A su vez, se analizan los temas de seguridad y defensa de cara a los nuevos desafíos del siglo XXI y los actores relevantes en la política exterior hemisférica, tales como Canadá, los Estados Unidos, México y Brasil. Finalmente, esta publicación cuenta con una reflexión acerca de la visión sobre los cambios que se han dado que continúan ocurriendo en el Sistema Internacional. [Description in English] Latin America and the Caribbean: International Relations in the 21st Century Summit Diplomacy and Spaces of Regional and Global Agreement Faced with a new global context that has multiple actors but no effective multilateralism, the multilateral system is now in crisis. This is largely due to the economic and financial crisis underway since 2008; to the United States paying less attention to Latin America and other regions of the world and its unilateral inertia; and to the deadlock in the United Nations system and the reduced legitimacy of emerging institutions, which are unable to achieve global governability. In the West, profound and important changes are being witnessed, such as the deepening of relations between Latin America, particularly South America, and the Asia Pacific region, and China's consolidation as a significant strategic trading partner for Latin America, supplanting other partners like the European Union. In addition, the revolutions and transformations occurring in Arab countries and the changes taking place in Africa are reorienting priorities and trends in Europe that no doubt affect Latin America. This publication brings together the main ideas presented by prominent academics with regard to these global changes and the different visions of hegemonic countries within and beyond the region; and to summit diplomacies such as that of APEC, CELAC, the Americas and the EU; as well as the ideas presented in relation to emerging transnational issues such as climate change, security, governance, governability and integration. In turn, the issues of security and defense are analyzed in relation to the new challenges of the 21st century and the relevant actors within hemispheric foreign policy, including Canada, the United States, Mexico and Brazil. Lastly, this work contains a reflection on this view of the changes that continue to take place within the International System.

The Handbook of Latin America in the World explains how the Latin American countries have both reacted and contributed to changing international dynamics over the last 30 years. It provides a comprehensive picture of Latin America’s global engagement by looking at specific processes and issues that link governments and other actors, social and economic, within the region and beyond. Leading scholars offer an up-to-date state of the field, theoretically and empirically, thus avoiding a narrow descriptive approach. The Handbook includes a section on theoretical approaches that analyze Latin America’s place in the international political and economic system and its foreign policy making. Other sections focus on the main countries, actors, and issues in Latin America’s international relations. In so doing, the book sheds light on the complexity of the international relations of selected countries, and on their efforts to act multilaterally. The Routledge Handbook of Latin America in the World is a must-have reference for academics, researchers, and students in the fields of Latin American politics, international relations, and area specialists of all regions of the world.

The fourth edition of this widely praised text has been thoroughly revised to reflect the evolving characteristics of the current international system that have had a dramatic effect on every aspect of international relations of Latin America and the Caribbean. The original purpose of this book is unchanged: It continues to provide a topically current and analytically integrated survey of the region's role in the world. Still organized around the idea of Latin America and the Caribbean as a separate subsystem within the global international system, the discussion gives special emphasis to complex interstate and transnational structures and processes. Within this framework, Atkins analyzes the foreign policies of the Latin American states themselves and those of the United States and other countries toward Latin America and the Caribbean. He also looks closely at the nature and role of transnational actors in the region, such as the multinational corporations, the Holy See, Protestant Churches, transnational political parties, international labor, nongovernmental organizations, and others. He gives special attention to Latin American participation in international institutions at all levels.

Using decades of their own insight into teaching undergraduate International Relations (IR) courses, leading experts offer an introduction to IR thinking throughout history in Latin America, unfolding ideas, voices, concepts and approaches from the region that can contribute to the broader Global IR discussion. The book highlights and discuss the growing possibility of a Latin American agency, defined broadly to include both material and ideational elements, in regional and international relations, covering areas where Latin America’s contributions are especially visible and relevant, such as regionalism, international law, security management, and Latin America’s relations with the outside world. This is not about exclusively "Latin American solutions to Latin American problems", but rather about contributions in which Latin Americans define the terms for understanding the issues and set the terms for the nature and scope of outside involvement. Written with verve and clarity, Latin America in Global International Relations exposes readers to the relevance of redefining and broadening IR theory. It will serve as a guide for instructors in structuring their courses and in identifying the place of Latin America in the discipline.
