And nowhere does this seem truer than in Latin America. No  longer is the region regarded as America\u2019s \u201cbackyard\u201d; on the contrary,  the continent has arguably never been so united and independent. But  this view fails to capture the true nature of US influence in Latin  America \u2013 and elsewhere as well.<\/span><\/h1>\n<p style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"line-height: 27px;\">It  is true that US attention to Latin America has waned in recent years.  President George W. Bush was more focused on his \u201cglobal war on terror.\u201d  His successor, Barack Obama, seemed to give the region little thought  as well, at least in his first term.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Indeed, at the\u00a0Summit of the Americas\u00a0in  Cartagena in April 2012, Latin American leaders felt sufficiently  confident and united to challenge US priorities in the region. They  urged the US to lift its embargo on Cuba, claiming that it had damaged  relations with the rest of the continent, and to do more to combat drug  use on its own turf, through education and social work, rather than  supplying arms to fight the drug lords in Latin America \u2013 a battle that  all acknowledged has been an utter failure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">It  is also true that Latin American countries have pursued a massive  expansion of economic ties beyond America\u2019s sway. China is now Latin  America\u2019s second-largest trading partner and rapidly closing the gap  with the US. India is showing keen interest in the region\u2019s energy  industry, and has signed export agreements in the defense sector. Iran  has strengthened its economic and military ties, especially in  Venezuela.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Similarly,  in 2008, Russia\u2019s then-President Dmitri Medvedev identified the US war  on terror as an opportunity to create strategic partnerships with rising  powers such as Brazil, and with the Bolivarian Alliance for the  Americas (ALBA), a Venezuelan-inspired bloc opposed to US designs in the  region. The energy giant Gazprom and the country\u2019s military industries  have spearheaded the Kremlin\u2019s effort to demonstrate Russia\u2019s ability to  influence America\u2019s neighborhood \u2013 a direct response to perceived  American meddling in Russia\u2019s own \u201cnear abroad,\u201d particularly Georgia  and Ukraine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Yet  it would be a mistake to regard Latin America\u2019s broadening  international relations as marking the end of US preeminence. Unlike in  the bygone era of superpowers and captive nations, American influence  can no longer be defined by the ability to install and depose leaders  from the US embassy. To believe otherwise is to ignore how international  politics has changed over the last quarter-century.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">A  continent once afflicted by military takeovers has slowly but surely  implanted stable democracies. Responsible economic management,  poverty-reduction programs, structural reforms, and greater openness to  foreign investment have all helped to generate years of low-inflation  growth. As a result, the region was able to withstand the ravages of the  global financial crisis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The  US not only encouraged these changes, but has benefited hugely from  them. More than\u00a040% of US exports now go to Mexico and Central and South  America, the US\u2019s fastest-growing export destination. Mexico is  America\u2019s second-largest foreign market (valued at $215 billion in  2012). US exports to Central America have risen by 94% over the past six  years; imports from the region have risen by 87%. And the US continues  to be the largest foreign investor on the continent. American interests  are evidently well served by having democratic, stable, and increasingly  prosperous neighbors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">This  new reality also demands a different type of diplomacy \u2013 one that  recognizes the diverse interests of the continent. For example, an  emerging power such as Brazil wants more respect on the world stage.  Obama blundered when he dismissed a 2010 deal on Iran\u2019s nuclear program  mediated by Brazil and Turkey (despite having earlier endorsed the  talks). Other countries might benefit from US efforts to promote  democracy and socioeconomic ties, as Obama\u2019s recent trips to Mexico and  Costa Rica show.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Trade  relations provide another all-important lever. President Sebastian  Pi\u00f1era of Chile visited the White House earlier this week to discuss,  among other things, the\u00a0Trans-Pacific Partnership\u00a0(TPP), an ambitious  trade agreement that might encompass New Zealand, Singapore, Australia,  Mexico, Canada, and Japan. President Ollanta Humala of Peru is expected  in the White House next week, while Vice President Joe Biden is  scheduled to visit Latin America soon after.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Language  and culture matter, too. Given the extraordinary growth of Latinos\u2019  influence in the US, it is almost inconceivable that America could lose  its unique status in the region to China or Russia, let alone Iran.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Gone  are the days when military muscle and the politics of subversion could  secure US influence \u2013 in Latin America or anywhere else. A world power  today is one that can combine economic vigor and a popular culture with  global outreach on the basis of shared interests. The US is better  positioned than any other power in this respect, particularly when it  comes to applying these advantages in its immediate vicinity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><em><strong>About the author<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Shlomo  Ben-Ami, a former Israeli foreign minister and internal security  minister, is Vice President of the Toledo International Center for  Peace.
