Blogopia

After a much longer than anticipated hiatus tending to my paycheck obligations and the travel bug, I now hope to return to regular posting. Despite woefully neglecting this blog, check out the fruits of sacrifice with the new ForeignPolicy.com, when you have a spare moment. Don’t miss this year’s Failed States Index, which features a number of interesting developments on Latin American states.

In the meantime, as most of you have undoubtedly noticed, there’s been no lack of developments coming from the region of recent. This upcoming week I want to dig into a few of these pressing issues, at least to piss off someone in the blogosphere and rile up some much needed debate.

A pulse on Latin America

Well, I have been meaning to start a Latin American blog for some time. Alas, I finally kicked myself into gear and it takes form in ‘Ojo Gringo’. My intentions with this space are twofold— to share interesting aspects and developments in the sociopolitical and security realms of the Americas, and also to compel thoughtful discussion of their respective implications.

I’m guessing I will be talking to myself for awhile, but hey, check back soon for posts on the latest unfolding— we all know there is much to be covered in these upcoming weeks.

Cheers and buen provecho!
