Book Description:
Latin America comprises a diverse group of countries with extremely varied economies and political dynamics. Some are heavy in poverty and others are booming with petrodollars. They speak Spanish, Portuguese, and French. This new book brings together analyses detailing crucial issues such as: the economic and social indicators of Latin America and the Caribbean; current heads of government and elections in Latin America and the Caribbean; Latin American terrorism issues; El Salvador's political, economic and social conditions and U.S. relations; Cuba and issues for the 111th Congress and U.S. restrictions on travel and remittances; and Panama's political and economic conditions and U.S. relations. This book consists of public documents which have been located, gathered, combined, reformatted, and enhanced with a subject index, selectively edited and bound to provide easy access.
