International Relations of Latin America and the Caribbean: Making a textbook of the Period from the End of US-Soviet Cold War to the Present
Outline
The end of the Cold War and the fall of the former Soviet Union strongly affected the international order. Since then, the world continues to change and has affected each country of Latin America and the Caribbean. Especially since the decade of the 2000s, China's rise and following competition between the United States and China have a great impact onto the international relations of Latin America and the Caribbean. There are not many textbooks on this topic, and I would like to publish a comprehensive one with a level of undergraduate students and general public which may have interests.with the cooperations of Japanese specialists.
