Why are some governments in the region so eager to thumb  their noses at the United States? Have U.S. diplomatic efforts failed to  create stronger allies in the region? Does the general public in Latin  America view the U.S. as negatively today as some of their political  leaders?<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ab0635; font-size: 14pt;\">A<\/span><\/strong><strong><span style=\"color: #333333; font-size: 8pt;\">: <\/span><span style=\"color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11px;\">William  McIlhenny, policy director of the Annenberg-Dreier Commission on the  Greater Pacific and a former advisor at the State Department and  National Security Council:<\/span><\/span><\/strong><span style=\"color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11px;\"> &#8220;I&#8217;d look at this another way. If the 21st century is about anything,  it&#8217;s about new\u2014and big\u2014opportunity. All over Latin America, responsible  leaders, of many political traditions, understand that. More important,  so do their peoples, across all sorts of cultural divides. I think the  same is obviously true in North America, Europe, Asia, and other parts  of the world. Nearly everywhere, governments and societies are trying to  figure out how to capitalize on the game-changing opportunities all  around us to strengthen growth, development and human opportunity. They  are finding new ways to leverage their peoples&#8217; empowerment and open  exchanges (e.g. of goods, services, capital, information) to accomplish  this. There are a some outliers. These include a few Latin American  countries whose populist rulers harken back to a problematic past most  of the region has surpassed. It isn&#8217;t hard to understand why people who  have long felt marginalized (and usually were) are vulnerable to  demagogues with simple formulas of blame and personalist redemption. It  also isn&#8217;t hard to understand why rulers who can&#8217;t deliver the goods to  their people try to distract their attention. That is where operatic  gestures like high-profile asylum offers come in. Maybe in some  situations this is good base politics for a day. But, even where this  game is shrillest, majorities of the public express favorable views of  the U.S. So, I think there is diminishing usefulness in these tactics.  If anything, they underscore how out of sync a handful of rulers are  with the rest of the world, and even with their own countries&#8217; needs.  People aren&#8217;t stupid, and they don&#8217;t want bread and circuses. They want a  better future, with jobs and economic opportunity. They want security  and universal rights. They want efficient services, and government  transparency. Those are the kinds of standards they will ultimately (and  appropriately) hold their governments to account for\u2014not who they give  asylum to, or how loudly they can rant against foreign scapegoats.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ab0635; font-size: 14pt;\">A<\/span><\/strong><strong><span style=\"color: #333333; font-size: 8pt;\">: <\/span><\/strong><span style=\"color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11px;\"><strong>Daniela Chac\u00f3n Arias, political analyst at Profitas in Quito: <\/strong>&#8220;Ecuador,  or any other country, has a right to analyze any asylum petition and  decide whether to grant it or not under the rules of international law.  This does not mean an eagerness to thumb their noses at the United  States, but it is an expression of their own policies and traditions  regarding asylum requests. Ecuador, under Correa, has had the policy of  confronting the United States on the issues he considers violations of  the country&#8217;s sovereignty. Confronting the United States has always been  popular in Latin America due to the past history the region shares, but  that does not mean that there are widespread negative sentiments  against the country. As for the Snowden case, unfortunately it was  poorly handled by the Ecuadorean government and has created negative  commercial effects. Ecuador has renounced the ATPDEA trade preferences,  and the United States has declared that the renewal of the GSP  preferences are not a given. President Correa, after a call with Vice  President Biden, has already declared that the country made several  mistakes in this case, and that the asylum request will only be analyzed  and consulted with the United States once Snowden steps on Ecuadorean  soil. Therefore, it is no longer sure that Ecuador will grant the  asylum. Nonetheless, commercial relations with the United States have  already suffered, as has the image of Ecuador in the world.&#8221;<br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ab0635; font-size: 14pt;\">A<\/span><\/strong><strong><span style=\"color: #333333; font-size: 8pt;\">: <\/span><\/strong><span style=\"color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11px;\"><strong>Carl Meacham, director of the Americas Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies<\/strong><\/span><\/span><strong>:<\/strong> <span style=\"color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11px;\">&#8220;It  is, in simplest terms, unremarkable for the United States to find that  the entirety of Latin America is not united behind us. In every region  of the world, the United States&#8217; reputation is vulnerable to a handful  of states whose priorities and beliefs overlap little with our own. That  said, the Obama administration would be served well to articulate and  work toward a compelling vision for the region and its future\u2014though, to  be sure, recent rhetoric and the president&#8217;s and vice president&#8217;s  visits to the region earlier this year are steps in the right direction.  Taking that still further would require that the United States identify  and pursue allies that are willing, capable, compatible, and relevant  in today&#8217;s world\u2014a set of qualifications that, while inapplicable to  Ecuador especially, certainly hold for many of our regional neighbors.  While there are leaders in the region that view the United States in a  decidedly negative light, the majority of the Latin American public sees  things somewhat differently. Having long since moved out of the Cold  War perspective, &#8216;millennial&#8217; generation Latin Americans in particular  have adopted a more pragmatic view of their northern neighbor and its  place in the world, understanding that U.S. policies\u2014like those of other  countries in the region and world\u2014are driven by the country&#8217;s  self-interest. And, whether because they see U.S. power as waning or  because, more than ever before, emerging powers all around the world  present<br \/>\na viable alternative to U.S. influence, Latin Americans look at the  United States without illusions. Edward Snowden&#8217;s publication of  classified NSA documents certainly surprised and angered many Americans.  But it is important to remember that the information he disseminated  was of high value to those countries around the world on  less-than-perfect terms with the United States. The fact that Ecuador  and Venezuela have shown willingness to consider harboring Snowden is,  given their history with the United States, far from  noteworthy\u2014particularly in light of Snowden&#8217;s requests for asylum  assistance to 21 countries around the world. While Ecuador and Venezuela  demonstrated their potential support early on, their willingness to  consider Snowden&#8217;s request is no different from that of any other  country around the world.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In an excellent commentary that\u00a0 I read in the Inter American Dialogue, several lead analysis of world
