Evan Ellis - Race to the Bottom: China and the Self-Defeating Logic of Transactional Diplomacy in the Americas

Dear Colleague, With this email, I would like to share with you my article on the importance of Latin America pursuing its own interests with respect to working with the PRC in Latin America (not choosing “between” the US and PRC.”) I argue that Latin America’s best prospects for ensuring that international engagements benefit its people (and not merely those who sign the deals), requires transparency, rule-of-law, and technically competent institutions for evaluating and adjudicating contracts, proposed mergers, and applying the law equally to all parties. It also requires an informed debate about the relative risks of PRC-based and other companies trusted to operate in the region.
