		<description><![CDATA[ 
Via presidential order, the Bolivian army’s new slogan is “Patria o muerte, venceremos!” (Fatherland or death, we shall overcome!), adopted from early revolutionary Cuba and the iconic Argentine guerrilla fighter (he has been labeled in a variety of ways), Ernesto “Che” Guevara.
This declaration has brought about a fair amount of analysis and discussion by [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What need is there for defining concepts like Left and Right in a region dominated by the ongoing dual transition to markets and liberal democracy—pace the rise of some “socialist” governments? This question has been answered hubristically—there is no need to define them because there is more meaningful ideological debate! (Fukuyama, 1989)—and seriously—we need to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The AQ blog recently published an excellent article analyzing the effectiveness and utility of broad, multinational coalitions in the Americas:
This is not to call for unilateralism or a rejection of international norms at the expense of alliances and partners.  What it does point to is a more limited, pragmatic agenda: engaging on specific, discrete issues with [...]]]></description>

The article analyzes the &#8220;image gap&#8221; between Brazil&#8217;s emerging status as a global leader and harsher domestic realities and looks at [...]]]></description>
