China, The United States, and the Future of Latin America

This volume, dealing with Latin America and the Caribbean, presents a complex picture that lies somewhere between [Denoon’s] previous two. Denoon and the other contributors describe China’s rapidly growing presence as a buyer of raw materials, supplier of manufactured goods, builder of infrastructure, investor, and donor. ~Foreign Affairs

A superb volume which explains China's goals in the region and analyzes how both the United States and Latin American countries have responded. Because the volume covers foreign policy and economics for all the key states in the region, it is an outstanding, original contribution to the field and an invaluable reference book. Denoon has carefully selected the authors of each chapter to reflect divergent perspectives on these developments, so readers can draw their own conclusions about how influential China will become at the southern doorstep of the U.S. ~Joydeep Mukherjee,Managing Director, Standard & Poor's Sovereign Ratings

Given the arrival of the Trump administration, this volume takes on added relevance.China will become an increasingly important option for the region.The authors expertly analyze the general considerations that drive the relationship, and provide expert country analysis on the options available to the major states.This volume carefully explores Chinas perspective on Latin America and convincingly debunks the myth that China seeks to replace the United States.Overall, a very welcome addition to the growing body of literature on Chinas emergence in the region. ~Riordan Roett,Co-editor of Latin America and the Asian Giants: Evolving Ties with China and India
