PART 1. Introduction, History, and Politics ISSUE 1. Is Latin America Making Progress Toward Integration? YES: Bernie Dwyer, from "The Hopeful Signs Across Latin America," (March 7, 2006) NO: Carlos Malamud, from "The Obstacles to Regional Integration in Latin America," (January 12, 2005) In an interview with Bernie Dwyer, Noam Chomsky, political activist and professor emeritus of linguistics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, contends that for the first time since the Conquest of the Americas, Latin America is becoming more integrated economically, socially, and politically. Carlos Malamud, senior analyst on Latin America at the Elcano Royal Institute and professor of Latin American history, maintains that efforts toward Latin American integration are doomed to failure and that they have not yet produced any tangible results. ISSUE 2. Is Democracy Threatened by Social Unrest and the Rise of Latin America's Left? YES: Carlos Alberto Montaner, from "Latin America: Fragmentation and Forecasts," The Heritage Foundation (June 2, 2005) NO: Benjamin Dangl, from "Latin America's Leftist Shift: Hopes and Challenges," Presentation to The Winds of Change in the Americas Conference (March 5, 2006) Carlos Alberto Montaner, author, political analyst, and university professor, maintains that social unrest and the rise of Latin America's left with such figures as Hugo ChÁvez and TabarÉ VÁzquez are a threat to democracy. Montaner argues that a process of "uncivilization" in the region accompanies these developments. Benjamin Dangl, political analyst and editor of Upside Down World , argues that the region's shift to the left offers hope for democracy and that it represents an opening up of economic policy and new focus on the needs of the people in Latin America. ISSUE 3. Is Latin America Starting to Embrace Cuba's Humanitarian Aid? YES: Luis SuÁrez Salazar, from "Cuba's Foreign Policy and the Promise of ALBA," NACLA Report on the Americas (January/February 2006) NO: Daniel P. Erikson, from "Castro and Latin America: A Second Wind?" World Policy Journal (Spring 2004) Luis SuÁrez Salazar, professor of history at the University of Havana, believes that Cuban diplomacy and new partnerships have helped create solid relations with its Latin American neighbors. Daniel Erikson, director of Caribbean programs in Washington, D.C., attests that although Cuba is attempting to employ a "good neighbor policy" with many Latin American countries, the majority of these countries are skeptical of Fidel Castro's actions and will continue to ally with the United States. ISSUE 4. Is Plan Colombia Effectively Combating the Drug Industry in Colombia? YES: Robert B. Charles, from "U.S. Policy and Colombia," Testimony Before Chairman Tom Davis and the House Committee on Government Reform (June 17, 2004) NO: Linda Panetta, from "Plan Colombia...Plan of Death," School of the America's Watch (2006) Robert B. Charles, assistant secretary for international narcotics and law enforcement affairs for the U.S. Department of State, argues that Plan Colombia is succeeding through limiting the flow of drugs to America, defeating terrorists, and protecting democratic rule throughout the Andean regions of Latin America. Linda Panetta, a photojournalist whose work focuses on cultural, environmental, and human rights by focusing on conflict zones around the world-including Latin America-asserts that Plan Colombia has made little progress in the "War on Drugs" and creat
