PIR’s Dr. Eduardo Gamarra was recently featured in NPR’s “U.S. interventions in Latin America and the Caribbean haven't always gone as planned.” Read it here: www.npr.org/2026/01/02/n...
U.S. interventions in Latin America and the Caribbean haven't always gone as planned
President Trump's pressure campaign against Venezuela is the latest in a long saga of U.S. intervention in the region that is rooted in the 1823 Monroe Doctrine — and is a mix of success and failure.

En este video hablo sobre ese ciclo: las modas intelectuales en la disciplina y cómo moldean lo que estudiamos y discutimos.
