This notion was always a bit of an artifice. Yet, it is one that has become especially apparent as the region descends from periphery to marginality, and \"diplomatic eclipse\", in the words of Alain Rouquié. What to do to revert this trend? \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn this book, some of the region's leading analysts and foreign policymakers argue that Active Non-Alignment is the path to follow if the region is to realize its full potential and occupy its rightful place in the concert of nations. Steeped in the best traditions of the Global South, but sharply attuned to the imperatives of the new century, Active Non Alignment constitutes a guide to foreign policy action in a world in turmoil, in which those not present at the high table charting a new path and shaping the new system will be left behind.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCharting the change from the old Third World's cahiers des doleances diplomacy championing the New International Economic Order (NIEO) to the current new collective financial statecraft of the New South, reflected in entities like the Asian Investment and Infrastructure Bank (AIIB) and the New Development Bank, the book opens new vistas for a Latin America. The latter has diversified its diplomatic, trade, investment and financial links and will not let itself be cajoled back to the days of the Monroe Doctrine. Yet, the forging of collective action will require a much more concerted effort at regional cooperation that has been extant until now. For those purposes, Active Non Alignment provides the right set of tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarlos Fortin is a research fellow emeritus at the Institute of Development Studies (IDS), University of Sussex, and a former assistant secretary-general of UNCTAD.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eJorge Heine is a research professor at the Pardee School of Global Studies, Boston University, and a former Chilean ambassador to China, India and South Africa.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCarlos Ominami is a director of the Chile 21 Foundation in Santiago, a former minister of economic affairs in the Chilean government, and a former senator.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 304\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.81 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 07, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51783069368608,"sku":"9781839985720","price":188.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/538802f60819bf2feb85c3dffe158465.webp?v=1780579428","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/latin-american-foreign-policies-in-the-new-world-order-the-active-non-alignment-option-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
