O’Neil on Latin America
Shannon K. O’Neil, Senior Fellow for Latin America Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations, is available to give customized talks on the following topics: Latin America’s financial, economic, and political outlook; US-Latin American Foreign Policy; issues pertaining to Mexico, Brazil, and Latin America more broadly; the future of Latin American energy; and U.S. immigration and U.S. border security.
Mexico, the U.S., and the Road Ahead
In the past three decades, Mexico has become one of the most open and competitive economies in the world. Though many still view it as a developing country, Mexico is a staunchly middle class nation, with a vibrant consumer market and a powerful manufacturing sector. Behind the grim headlines that dominate the media is a more hopeful Mexico, with formidable and ever-increasing ties to the United States. In this timely, erudite, and very accessible talk, Shannon O’Neil tells the story of Mexico’s rapid and widespread social, political, and economic transformations—and what it means for America. O’Neil outlines the connections to be made, the differences to be understood, and the enormous opportunities to be cemented.
