U.S.-China Constructive Interaction in Latin America and the Caribbean
In October 2019, The Carter Center was invited to participate in “China, US and Latin America Relations in a Transforming International Order,” organized by the Shanghai Institute of International Studies. There the Center presented a paper arguing that today instead of trilateral mechanisms, several existing regional multilateral frameworks could be used to promote constructive U.S.-China interaction in LAC. The paper provides a macro analysis and recommendations based on a comparative analysis of U.S. and Chinese strategy documents for LAC and existing regional multilateral development policy frameworks.

Women’s Political Representation in Honduras: A Comparative Perspective on Party Resistance and Inclusive Reform Proposals | En español
Historically, women have been poorly represented in Latin American politics. Women's absence from democratic institutions and from the processes of making decisions and shaping and implementing public policy underscores the shortcomings of the region’s political systems. This is no small matter: When female politicians committed to the push for substantive inclusion participate, it enhances democracy, allows multiple views to be included and interests to be defended, puts men and women on equal footing, and makes institutions and public policies more inclusive. In this report, Dr. Flavia Freidenberg looks at women’s political participation in Honduras.

On May 31-June 1, 2019, The Carter Center hosted the sixth annual conference of the International Consortium for China Studies, titled “The Rise of China and Its Impact on Developing Countries.” The event was co-organized by The Carter Center’s China Program and Latin America and Caribbean Program, the International Consortium for China Studies of Peking University, the China Research Center of Atlanta, and the Institute of Developing Nations of Emory University. For the conference, The Carter Center commissioned three white papers to analyze the impact of China’s increasing presence in Latin America and the Caribbean within the framework of the global competition between China and the U.S., as well as the implications of Chinese approach to development for the region. Each paper presents a different perspective on these topics: 1) the Chinese perspective, 2) the U.S. perspective, and 3) the Latin American and Caribbean perspective. The main objective is to understand whether the growing Chinese presence in LAC is beneficial for the region’s sustainable development. The presentations also explore prospective areas of trilateral collaboration in areas such as health, sustainable energy, peacebuilding and security (anti-organized crime cooperation).
