AQ and Efecto Naím Air Joint Report on the Pro-Americanism in Latin America
NTN 24 features a joint report from Americas Quarterly and Efecto Naim that discusses survey findings of Latin America being the most pro-American region in the world.
Many people assume, because of the history of U.S intervention in Latin America, and the outspoken anti-Americanism of some of its most visible leaders, that Latin Americans harbor strong anti-American sentiments. Surprisingly, survey data reveals the exact opposite—Latin America is the most pro-American region in the world, including countries where leaders frequently rail against U.S. imperialism.
How does the power of economic interconnectedness overcome a history of conflict? What purpose does anti-American rhetoric serve if most Latin Americans support the United States? This joint report from Efecto Naím and Americas Quarterly looks at what Latin Americans really think about the United States, and what it means for the relationship between them.
