as a think tank advocacy group promoting human rights and democracy in latin america. welcome to the program. first, tell us more about what these new laws in mexico are. >> well, essentially they decriminalize possession for personal consumption across a range of elicit substances, whether it's marijuana or cocaine, and the mexican law, while new for mexico, is not necessarily new for latin america. there are similar decriminalization statutes up and down the continent, and it's a growing movement with recent argentine court decisions opening the door to a similar reform in that country. >> what's behind the decision to decriminalize drugs? >> i think in latin america, including mexico, there's a fatigue with a model of zero tolerance that insists on criminal sanctions for even the smallest levels of use, including in private, and that it's a diversion of resources that could be better focused on fighting the drug cartels and large organized crime. in latin america in journal, there's a sense that when it comes to the drug war that the united states in particular has

they are all young people he is an extraordinary icahn for latin america. he came to providence in 1960's which is when that america literature first came to international prominence and it became possibly the most popular and and most no literature in the world. it appeared in 1966 and not appear until the mid-1960s and not doing terribly well did not become later what it was to become an 1967 which was gabriel garcia marquez. his 100 years of solitude it was almost as if it was predestined it would finally cap latin-american and not all it was famous before he published it the most famous at this point* was ulysses his novel became famous oliver north america perhaps after he hadn't written the first that was it. it would be a best seller and a great latin-american novel. he just knew it. him and his friends started to write articles when even marquez was only halfway through it. it did not happen very often but it did then. most latin american novels published 500 or 1,000 would be a very good printer run in the 1960's but all of a sudden one-man publish

that huge find that they have right now. >> well, it's certainly the case earlier in the year latin america caught up in general market sentiment and that was clearly related to commodities. i think we have seen some recovery in latin american sentiment since then. first of all, the gloss, with as you've been saying earlier on today in this program, has come off emerging market stocks globally right now. that stands to have an impact on latin america. nomura went underweight for global emerging markets about five weeks ago, having been overweight for the first half of the year. secondly, there is a very good piece of research published by the oecd last year correlates a very close correlation between politics in latin america and market sentiment in particular as far as the bond market is concerned. so watch out for that as these elections come up. they tend to generate market uncertainty. >> allan, within that, looking at latin america and mexico, are there any particular markets which you still rate more highly than that which have come out a bit better than the others? >> well, obviously

of the kennedys, i would submit the new america we live in, the millions of new americans from latin america, from asia from all around the world who became part of our country was a direct consequence of the 1965 immigration act. the kennedys changed literally the face of america and that probably, more than anything, was the lasting legacy of the

they are about two-thirds of total gdp of latin america. when we talked about about latin america, we are really talking about brazil and mexico. mexico is, up to now, 2008 and 2009, then a country which was benefiting from a significant improvement and macro economic conditions. mexico was always in a crisis, always in crisis related to this. , presidential. from 1995 on, it worked well, but some of these things started looking very complicated. mexico, although its macroeconomic policies and conditions have been good, they have low inflation and a balance of payments is not an imbalance, has had a very pour growth in performance. effectively, in the last 10 or 12 years, 10 years mexico has been growing less than the world average, and seven years out of those it has been growing less than latin america over all. that shows that one looks at the gdp per capita. not much has happened over the last year's. it has lost its relative importance. even as it became integrated with the rest of the world, and with the united states in particular, i

-latin america relations that certainly is not going to gut my administration's policies.[speaking spanish] >> many of the people who work in the united states who live in the shadow, live in the state or come from jalisco, the state. these are people who have migrated to build a better future for their families. all of them, or most of them, have enormously contributed to the american society and the american economy and it is unthinkable to see that the u.s., the main power, the main economic power in the world, disvalues the contribution of mexican laborers and workers. this is not only a good will statement. during our meeting, we handed the delegation the benefits of north america and why the mexican population represents in terms of the population of the united states. the only way to have sustained progress throughout the north american region, especially, is for allowing for the natural economic processes so immigration can happen, this implies the labor mobility that cannot be determined by mandate or decree. this is what we have underscored with president obama d

in fact, in general the rich in latin america don't have responsibilities. capital flight approximated the crushing debt. in contrast, during south korea's remarkable growth period, capital flight could bring the death penalty. one of many factors that led to the surprising divergence latin america has much richer resources then you would expected to be, far more advanced than ease dÉjÀ but it have the disadvantage of being under imperialists wing's. from the 1970's, the golden age faded. win neal liberal rules were observed and so far as they have been observed, economic performance deteriorated and social democratic programs have been substantially weakened. we see that right here. the united states parslow accepted these rules and for the past 30 years, real wages for the majority of the population have stagnated. up until then they essentially tracked growth. work hours have increased well beyond europe. benefits, which have always lagged, have declined in social indicators, a kind of a general nature of the help of a society, they also attract growth un

when latin america performed the best in three decades, mexico performed below the average of latin america. so the problem has to be put into perspective. this is an economy that has achieved stability but it's not being able to achie growth. in my view that's a central question. i'll come back in the e to talk aut that. in parallel to that, and central to the story, as the efforts of the economic stablization, but with no growth taking place, the country is experiencing a major transition to democracy. an i think the transition to the democracy for the purpose of this discussion really has two implications. one, this is a societal consensus for stability. it is not an issue of executive anymore. this is not an issue of political party. this has been an issue that has been fully eternalized by the mexican society and even political parties in the left that realized that mexicans were fed up with the crisis, and now they do want stability. so the transition to democracy is accompanied by a con sen us of stability, but that transition to democracy is also accompanied by the absence of any de

there have been some in latin america who have said that the united states has not acted strongly enough to return president zelaya to power and i wonder if you could talk a little bit about how you feel about what the united states should be doing or could be doing to restore democratic order in honduras. and prime minister harper, a few months ago, the homeland security secretary of the united states went to canada, or at least aggravated canadian sensibilities when she compared the canadian border to the mexican border. and i wonder what you think about that and how you feel about the united states using some of the enforcement strategies adopted on the southern border in the north. thank you. >> that's all? >> that's all, mr. president. >> well, first of all, ginger, i don't know if you're doing some prognosticating about the outcome of the midterm elections, which are over a year away. i anticipate we'll do just fine. and i think when all is said on health care reform, the american people are going to be glad that we acted to change an unsustainable system so that more people have c

19 eighties that led to the lost decade in latin america. that is one reason for is that the asian sufficiency the second reason is related to e crisis that the world faced one decade ago with the global financial -- financial crisis of set 97/98 the reason they split was handled was a disaster countries lost economic sovereignty, the imf push them into pro cyclical policy is that converted a downturn in to recession and a recession into a depression. if you want to get a feeling of how badly things can be mismanage, unemployment in the central island in indofesia got up at 40% so we have a way to go to reach those achievements. the consequence of this bad management with the global financial crisis was countries decided they would never let this happen again. i talk to prime minister's in both countries that have affected and not affected said we learned the lesson of 1997. one of them said i was the class of 97. the only way they had to protect themselves was to bud up large reserves. and they have built up literally trillions of dollars,

i surrounded myself with latin american art and a lot of cuban art but other parts of latin america. lth is an expression of my mind. art has helped educate my way of seeing things. back in the early 80s, late '70s, there was very little knowledge about latin american art even in american art circles. america was basically inviceable. so i found it very challenging and interesting to, you know, to write about latin america, going to latin america to discover the art and write about it in american and european art journals. how does an artist take apart the visual world and reconfigure it to make it his own or her own. you in a work of art that something that helped me a lot as a poet. my poetry is very visual as a result of that. i was born in cuba. and although i came at the age of six, my family and i came after the communist takeover in cuba. we arrived in december of 1960, first going to chicago and eventually moving to tampa. and then to miami. but when a rifed in miami in the '60s, and then growing up here from that point on, miami was a place where artists were creating, where

at the same time, the rest of latin america was cutting in half.le basically prepared their work force to produce things and be middle class. that is the failure of the american economy over the last 30 years. we have not prepared our work force to be middle-class, to produce the things that will actually create wealth for a wider class of people. host: is that because in the u.s. there might be what is perceived as a rush to go from the lower class to the upper class and skip the middle class all together? or is it that we are not preparing the lower class to step into the guest: middle class i think it is the latter. because we have devalued work, particularly manufacturing jobs that really built this country, especially when you look at after world war ii, our investment, wall street -- the portion of gdp has tripled. that is a function of where our priorities lie, which is speckled tiv wealth and not in producing things. our political class and our private sector have made a choice that we are not looking to develop a work force that can produc

we had experts here in the audience dealing with latin america. the question is, what are the iranians doing? what is hezbollah doing in that area? and in connection with the iranian involvement, and we do have our record of almost 30 years, it seems to me that we have to ponder the future with great concern particularly when we see the continuity of the ahmadinejad regime in iran today. so again, the bottom line of the question of threats and response depends on the perception of the threat and the coming of around at that i think we have to develop in order to reduce the risk of terrorism. so unfortunately from the academic point of view and a practical point of view, we would have to deal with this issue in the coming months as well as the coming years. i like to thank this opportunity -- take this opportunity to thank our panelist for this discussion. at this point, i would also like to recognize the interns who have worked with us this summer, who are finishing the work tomorrow. would you all please rise? where are the interns? this is the f

there was an unusual combination of unfavorable circumstances, where latin america performed the best mexico was below the average. the problem has been the perspective of the economy that has achieved macroeconomics stability, but they're not able to achieve growth and they are not answering these questions. central to the story, as this effort is taking place, the question is -- the country is having a major transition to democracy and for the purpose of this discussion, there are three notations. the first is a society consensus for stability. this is not an issue of the executive anymore, or an issue of the people and their political party. they have been internalized by mexican society as reflected by the political parties. even the political parties on the left knew that mexicans were angry about the everyday crisis. the transition to democracy is accompanied by the stability, but the transition to democracy is also accompanied by the absence of any consensus anywhere else. and what you see is an economy that after 1997, basically was stalled with the reforms to keep mexico comp
