		<description><![CDATA[Thank you to Rio Gringa and Andrew Downie for calling out international coverage of the recent collapse of several buildings in Rio de Janeiro. Numerous English-language media outlets have used the tragic collapses, which left 17 dead and dozens injured, as a platform to talk about infrastructure in Brazil and the country&#8217;s preparedness for 2014 [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Simon Romero has written a solid article on the front page of yesterday&#8217;s NYT about how Brazil&#8217;s rise and activity in Latin America is creating diplomatic problems with some its regional neighbors. The article itself is worth reading in its entirety, as it points to an interesting trend in regional politics, but for brevity&#8217;s sake, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On 3 March 2009, The Wall Street Journal published an Op-Ed titled “In Praise of Mexico’s War on Drugs”. Although it was written nearly two years ago, it is still a highly relevant and recommended read.
A day later, LatAmThought wrote the following in response to the article
