MORALES RUVALCABA, Daniel. The Foreign Policy of the Latin American Powers with Regards Caricom: the Cases of Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela and Cuba. colomb.int. [online]. 2018, n.96, pp.87-114. ISSN 0121-5612.  https://doi.org/10.7440/colombiaint96.2018.04.

The Caribbean Community (Caricom) is a system of subregional integration, influenced by the interests of the powers, especially the US. However, in the specific case of Latin America, which countries play a major role in this block? How are they related to Caricom? The purpose of this analysis is to review the foreign policy of the Latin American powers with regards Caricom. For the case studies, we use a geostructural methodology, which combines geographical factors with measurements of national power derived from the World Power Index (WPI). We then proceed to studying their foreign policy based on their discourses and actions. We conclude that the extent to which these powers are linked to Caricom is explained, first and foremost, by governments’ political will.

Palabras clave : Latin America; Caribbean; foreign policy; power; international structure; subregion.
