Abstract

In one of three 2012 presidential debates, US Republican candidate Mitt Romney argued Latin America was a region that the United States could do business with. “Latin America’s economy is almost as big as the economy of China … Latin America is a huge opportunity for us—time zone, language opportunities.”1 And he left it at that. No other reference to Latin America came up in an hour-and-a-half-long debate on US foreign policy. The most that was said about the region was that it collectively had a large economy, was vaguely in the same part of the globe, and had ambiguous linguistic potential. Romney at least mentioned Latin America, which is more than President Barack Obama did. And yet these two presidential hopefuls cannot be blamed singlehandedly for US neglect of the region. A glance at recently published works on US Grand Strategy illustrates a more widespread pattern: at best, Latin America, and the Americas, or the notion of a Western Hemispheric community, appear as brief asides or footnotes.2 With the “War on Terror” and Asia consuming increasing attention since 2001, policymakers and international relations experts appear to have forgotten to look South.
