Why have Latin American small states retained their affinity for China's Belt and Road Initiative despite varying results? Alongside Zara Albright & Diego Telias, we argue that BRI offered discursive resources even when material benefits fell short. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Greg Grandin's new book is sweeping, ambitious, and compelling. Likely to be read as a history of Latin America, the region primarily acts as a mirror to the United States. "However, in this reflection, the history of Latin America is distorted," I argue. My review: www.cambridge.org/core/journal...
