Latin American Politics: A Shift to the Left?

Mar 6th @ 6:00pm - 7:15pm

Share:

P. Michael McKinley

We welcome P. Michael McKinley, Ambassador (ret.) to Brazil, Peru, and Colombia.

Elections in Latin America over the past four years have led many observers of the regional/political scene to discern a left-wing surge in the hemisphere, reminiscent of the so-called “Pink Tide” that swept the area some 20 years ago. But how much do these politicians actually have in common? What implication does their ascendency have for the region and for relations with their northern neighbors?

Reception and networking for this event will take place from 5 – 6pm.

Parking

The program will take place at the Auditorium of the Wisner-Botrall Applied Technology Center on the Grand Rapids Community College campus (151 Fountain Street. NE). Free parking is available in Parking Lot A on Ransom Ave NE between Lyon and Fountain (you’ll receive an exit ticket when you sign-in at the event).  Guests will walk across the walking bridge to enter the ATC and take one floor down to the auditorium.
