Description
Summary:Verzio FF Submission Duration: 01:50:00 After 500 years of uninterrupted plunder of its natural resources and the fierce repression of popular revolts, Latin America is at a turning point in its history: a series of new leaders has come to power, most of them from outside the traditional political establishments and all elected democratically by safe majorities hungry for change. For the first time, these new governments are forging an alliance and their unity of purpose is not superficial: they intend to change the course of history and, by joining together, challenge North American hegemony in the region. Mercosur vs. ALCA: two visions of the world and of the future of the Americas, with, at the heart of the battle, the essential issue of natural resources.
