As the United States and China engage in strategic competition, how the two countries approach the Western Hemisphere will have lasting consequences. What is the nature of their interests in Latin America and where are these respective interests complementary and where are they competitive? How are countries in the region exercising agency to maximize their interests? What issues will frame how the United States and China relate to Latin America going forward?
On October 4, the Foreign Policy program at Brookings, in partnership with the Steven J. Green School of International & Public Affairs and the Jack D. Gordon Institute for Public Policy at Florida International University, convened experts to analyze the economic benefits and potential national security concerns that China brings to Latin America and the Caribbean, as well as explore where the United States and China can cooperate and compete in the Western Hemisphere. This public event is part of the Global China series and complements a written debate on the topic.
