A Failure of Strategy
Adrift in the Americas
With each passing day the United States grows
closer and more interconnected to the more than 300 million people with
whom we share the Americas. Lacking a coherent strategic vision for our
place in the Americas, we do so at our unnecessary peril. From our
country’s rapidly expanding Hispanic population to the $45 billion in
annual regional remittances to burgeoning transnational criminal
organizations to two of our top three global trading partners to the
popularity of shows like ABC’s Ugly Betty the convergence of the
Americas is evident at nearly every turn.
