Opinião - Peter Hakim: Retornar ao Haiti consolidaria Brasil como ator global confiável
Embora ainda precárias, as perspectivas do Haiti hoje parecem mais promissoras do que nos últimos anos. Os sete membros do recém-formado governo de transição do Haiti, representando uma ampla gama de opiniões políticas, estão encontrando alguns consensos e trabalhando juntos para enfrentar os múltiplos problemas da nação. Recrutaram um primeiro-ministro competente e ativo e começam a enfrentar sua principal tarefa, pavimentando o caminho para eleições que reconduzam a um governo democrático.

Follow this road map. It can take Haiti from violent chaos to progress and peace | Guest Opinion
A RUSSIAN warship armed with “unstoppable” hypersonic missiles is sailing towards the US coast in a show of strength, reports claim. The guided missile frigate Admiral Gorshkov has been closely monitored by Nato navies on its maiden voyage armed with 6,670mph Zircon weapons. An unconfirmed Russian Telegram channel... 2 DAYS AGO
Follow this road map. It can take Haiti from violent chaos to progress and peace | Guest Opinion
The rudiments of a loose international plan for Haiti are emerging — centered on providing increased support for the Haitian National Police, nudging political factions to coalesce around a governing pact and offering humanitarian assistance. But will it be enough, given the multiple complex problems Haiti confronts? As three long-term observers of the country, we argue that a more assertive international response is needed and offer the following road map to help Haiti reset.
Ansiedad en la Cumbre de las Américas
Comentario Image Una mujer limpia una señalización de la Cumbre de las Américas en Lima, Perú, el 10 de abril de 2018. WASHINGTON — Aunque quizás sea justificada por los trágicos sucesos en Siria, la decisión del presidente estadounidense Donald Trump de no asistir a la Cumbre de las Américas, que inicia el 13 de abril en Lima, fue desalentadora para los líderes de América Latina y el Caribe. Es probable que la perciban como la confirmación de la prolongada indiferencia de Trump hacia la región.
Opinion | Anxiety at the Summit of the Americas
With few encouraging gestures or initiatives from the White House, it is no surprise that Gallup reports only 16 percent of Latin Americans approve of Trump, a fraction of Mr. Obama’s 62 percent first-year approval.
Opinion: Castro's controversial legacy
Fidel Castro visited Chile in November 1971, some seven months after the inauguration of Salvador Allende, Latin America’s first democratically elected socialist president. Greeted by hundreds of thousands of cheering Chileans, Castro had come to celebrate with his only ally in Latin America. His trip was scheduled for 10 days, but he stayed 24 days, leaving long after the enthusiasm had faded. Chile had grown weary of Castro. Castro, who led Cuba for nearly 50 years, died Friday.
Degelo entre Brasil e EUA deve levar tempo
A economia continua deprimida, e o Congresso mergulhou no caos em meio aos escРndalos de corrupусo no paьs. As relaушes Brasil-EUA, embora cordiais e corretas, estсo, na prрtica, congeladas. Os dois paьses mal mantЖm seu envolvimento mЩtuo. Os problemas domжsticos profundos e complexos do Brasil sсo motivo suficiente para que os EUA tenham cautela ao lidar com o paьs.
What Really Went Wrong With Brazil's Economy
What Really Went Wrong With Brazil's Economy
Commentary: Here's what really went wrong with Brazil's economy
But the problem is not with the objectives, or design, of Lula’s policies. It has been with their management and implementation. Lula was lauded for policies and programs that accelerated national growth, kept inflation and debt in check, reduced poverty and inequality, and greatly expanded the middle class. Few other Latin American nations had ever achieved Brazil’s heady combination of robust growth and social advance. Democracy appeared to be thriving, too.
What really went wrong with Brazil's economy
When president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva left office in January 2011, Brazil was widely regarded as Latin America’s gold standard for economic development and social progress. But today, with his handpicked successor, Dilma Rousseff, facing an impeachment trial, the country is viewed as an economic failure. But the problem is not with the objectives, or design, of Lula’s policies. It has been with their management and implementation.
U.S.-Cuba deal: What the two sides get out of it
President Barack Obama has inverted U.S. policy on Cuba. His Wednesday speech adopted the proposals of those who have spent a half-century arguing for a rethinking of Cuba policy. The president recognized Washington’s failure to achieve its goal of bringing political and economic openness to Cuba. Rather than continue its quarantine, Washington is seeking more exchanges with the island nation, more trade, more communication, more cooperation.
To keep kids from our borders, fix things farther south
Despite their differences on almost everything else, President Barack Obama and Texas Governor Rick Perry agree that the unlawful migration of more than 50,000 Central American children to the United States is a humanitarian crisis. Some members of Congress and U.S. military leaders label it a security crisis. Whatever it’s called, it is an emergency that requires immediate attention.
Progress and the Past
To the Editor: Former Costa Rican President Oscar Arias (“Culture Matters,” January/February 2011) accurately pinpoints the most vexing questions about Latin America: Why has the region not progressed more steadily and quickly over the years, and what has held it back? But the president’s answers are a generation out of date. His notion that Latin Americans resist change because they “glorify their past” has not applied to Brazil for half a century.
