AQ Podcast | South-South Ties: Hype And Reality

Latin American leaders are making south-south ties a main focus of their foreign policy. What does that mean in practice for business, trade and diplomacy?
Reading Time: < 1 minute

The goal of building ties between global south countries has driven foreign policy in Latin America and elsewhere in recent years. In this episode we dive into what that has amounted to. What have been the most successful examples of cooperation between Latin America and other global south countries? Which presidents have prioritized this, and what’s their motivation? What are the challenges or barriers hindering effective cooperation between Latin America and other global south countries? And what does this agenda mean for countries of the global north? Our guest is Andrea Ordóñez, Senior Research Fellow at Southern Voice.
