Colombia’s successful track record in generating domestic investment, combined with its ability to attract international investment, this sector should be booming in the not too distant future.

Latin America Has a New Role in the New World Order?
Mar 18th
In a recent Global Insight piece that appeared in the Financial Times (“Chavez gestures mask rising LatAm clout”), the author tries to explain how Latin America’s time has come to play a larger diplomatic role in world events. He identifies several actions; one is how two Latin American countries are stepping out of their historic non-interventionist shell.
