U.S. hegemony or global good neighbor policy?

Over the past few years we have faced two major challenges in conceiving of a new foreign policy in Latin America.

The second is the increasing friction between the current U.S. administration's strategies for global U.S. hegemony and Latin American elected governments and grassroots trends toward greater independence and new models.
