Latin American Relations with the Middle East surveys the dealings
of ten Latin American and Caribbean states - Argentina, Brazil,
Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Peru, Mexico, Uruguay, and
Venezuela - with the Middle East. This volume examins these states'
external behavior at both an empirical and conceptual level.
Empirically, authors seek to examine Latin American and Caribbean
foreign policies towards the Middle East in four dimensions:
diplomatic attention; trade and investment (including the energy
issue); development cooperation; security matters/intelligence, and
relationship with multilateralism (Iran, Palestine, and Syria).
Case studies are selectively deployed to observe the influence of
unfavorable circumstances that have increased since 2015, such as
domestic turmoil, wars, economic crisis, ideological bias, and
international constraints. Conceptually, the book enhances the
theoretical framework for understanding Southern countries' foreign
policies, through fomenting dialogue with Latin American and
Caribbean regional literature on foreign policy. Authors inquire
about how decision-making processes occur, and uncover how
influential actors help to test the main hypotheses of Foreign
Policy Analysis (FPA). Forging essential new paths of inquiry, this
book is a must read for researchers of International Relations,
Foreign Policy, South-South Relations, Latin American Politics, and
Middle Eastern Politics.
