L’Amérique latine a toujours été considérée par les États-Unis comme leur chasse gardée. En témoigne la fameuse Doctrine Monroe de 1823. Cette conception est associée dans les faits à une surveillance du continent et à une présence militaire sous la forme de bases. Cette double dimension de la politique étrangère états-unienne a été amplement couverte par Dial (voir DIAL 2226, 2315, 2381, 2441, 2761, 2808). Cet article d’Alejo Álvez, publié par Noticias Aliadas le 28 décembre 2006, présente (…)

US - New Educational Opportunities for Latinos: Catholic Universities in the Americas
Michael Hogan
28 February 2007, posted by Michael HoganAs tuitions rise at universities in the United States and scholarship funds pay for an even smaller percentage of costs, many parents are finding college education for their children beyond their financial reach. For some, the answer has been to mortgage the home, or for the student to take out prohibitive loans. For others, the choice has been a community college or even to forego college entirely, and for the student enter the work force as untrained labor.

US-MEXICO - U.S. Drug Habit Migrates to Mexico
Sam Logan & Kate Kairies, IRC-Americas
18 February 2007, posted by Manuela Garza AscencioIRC - The seemingly insatiable U.S. appetite for drugs manifests itself on every level, from local neighborhoods to the halls of power in Washington.
For a long time, the United States’ addiction to hard drugs was seen as strictly a domestic problem. Compared to drug demand in the United States, consumption of illegal drugs in Latin America was relatively low. Countries south of the Rio Grande kept mainly to production and distribution—as long as U.S. demand created a market, Latin America (…) -
ESTADOS UNIDOS - Urgen más fondos para la educación de los inmigrantes
Adrián Franco, Hoy
29 de enero de 2007, puesto en línea por Manuela Garza AscencioHoy - Durante su campaña para gobernador, le pregunté a Eliot Spitzer si de ganar la elección acataría el veredicto del famoso caso "Campaña de Equidad Fiscal" que exige al estado aumentar de forma significativa el presupuesto educativo de la Ciudad de Nueva York. Ante los líderes mexicanos reunidos en esa ocasión, Spitzer dijo que sí lo haría. La promesa fue reiterada por el candidato en distintos foros públicos. De hecho, el ahora gobernador aseguró que el presupuesto para educación en la (…)

The Third AgeMichael Hogan
5 January 2007, posted by Michael HoganA few days before Christmas a colleague sent me an unsolicited email cartoon with the note: “This should cheer you up!” The single frame showed a bent-over, sunken-chested, balding man in his seventies as a doctor examined him with a stethoscope. The caption said, “Remember those twenty extra years I told you you’d have if you followed a healthy life style? Well, now you’re living them.”
Having recently been turned down by the search committee at a New England university because of age, I (…) -
AMÉRIQUE LATINE - Dans quelle mesure l’Amérique latine est-elle passée à gauche ?
Immanuel Wallerstein
13 décembre 2006, mis en ligne par Dial15 juin 2006 - Les discussions de ces dernières années sur le virage à gauche de l’Amérique latine reflètent bien toute la confusion qui existe, dans le monde entier, sur ce que veut dire être de gauche au XXIème siècle. Cette confusion est présente dans tous les courants d’opinion politique dans le monde et elle s’explique par différentes raisons. La plus évidente est que ce qu’on entend par un « virage à gauche » n’est pas mesuré selon les mêmes critères par des personnes venant d’horizons (…)

LATIN AMERICA-U.S. - ¿Nos irá mejor con los demócratas? (por Juan Carlos Bossio Rotondo, CESDEN)
12 de diciembre de 2006, puesto en línea por Juan Carlos Bossio Rotondo
El Presidente del prestigioso Colegio de la Frontera Norte, Jorge Santibáñez, expresa, en un reciente artículo (“Y eso que nos iba a ir mejor con la victoria demócrata en Estados Unidos”, El Correo Fronterizo, 7 del mes en curso), las inquietudes que le ocasionan las recientes declaraciones del senador estadounidense Joseph Biden, para el cual "una de las causas que explica la migración mexicana hacia Estados Unidos es el “sistema corrupto” que impera en México y que implica una (…)

LATIN AMERICA - How Has Latin America Moved Left?
Immanuel Wallerstein
11 December 2006, posted by DialJune 15, 2006 - The discussion on the leftward trend of Latin America in recent years reflects all the confusion, worldwide, about what it means to be on the left in the twenty-first century. The confusion is among all wings of world political opinion. There are various explanations for this confusion. The most obvious reason is that different people are measuring different things as the criterion of moving left. The second is that no such political tendency is perfectly linear. It always (…)

VENEZUELA-UNITED STATES - A New Chance for Relations?
Humberto Márquez, IPS
9 December 2006, posted by Amando BasurtoIPS - The outcome of Venezuela’s presidential elections may hold out a possibility of a thaw in relations with the United States, within a hemispheric context of greater openness to negotiation and dialogue.
"We’ve always looked for ways to deepen the dialogue with the government of President Chávez, and our hopes are that maybe at this moment he will show a greater interest," said U.S. Undersecretary of State for Latin America Thomas Shannon.
"We do not want a relationship of (…) -

OPINION - Human Rights Watch Must Retract Its Shameful Press Release on Palestine (by Norman G. Finkelstein, Counterpunch) 1 December 2006, posted by MikaNovember 29, 2006 - Counterpunch - Even by the grim standards of Gaza, the past five months have been cruel ones.
Some four hundred Palestinians, mostly unarmed civilians, have been killed during Israeli attacks. (Four Israeli soldiers and two civilians have been killed.) Israel has sealed off Gaza from the outside world while the international community has imposed brutal sanctions, ravaging Gaza’s already impoverished economy.
"Gaza is dying," Patrick Cockburn reported in CounterPunch, (…)
