Synopsis

In the spring of 2009, Brookings published 'The Obama Administration and the Americas: Agenda for Change'. As the Obama administration approaches its two-year mark, the editors of that insightful volume follow it with a new book looking at what Obama and his team have done thus far in regards to Latin America and the Caribbean, what current relations are, and what steps should be taken in the near future. 'The Western Hemisphere provides the chance to make progress on many issues with feasible effort, provided that the United States develops, articulates, and pursues a proactive and integrated strategy, rather than mainly ignoring a region that is increasingly important for the future of the United States or merely reacting to issues one at a time as they emerge. That is the essence of the Obama opportunity in the Americas. It is not too late to seize it.' (From Chapter One).
