Congratulations to Dr. Kirk Bowman, co-author of the new book Lessons from Latin America!  About the book: There is a long tradition of English-speaking North American countries looking down on the south, assuming there is little to learn from their experiences. And yet, in the decades of democratization that began in the early 1980s, Latin American countries have been innovative in a range of policy and cultural experiences, including health care, voting, pensions, and multiculturalism. Even though Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, and Cuba have succeeded in areas that are unmatched in the so-called rich world, their policy innovations are rarely found in textbooks. This book addresses that gap, providing a fascinating and wide-ranging exploration of both the history of "looking down" at Latin America and the political, economic, and cultural "lessons" (including successes, failures, and unintended consequences) that should inform important policy discussions around the world.

NOS-correspondent Wouter Zwart interviewde oud-senator Sam Nunn over de nucleaire top die volgende week in Den Haag plaatsvindt. Nunn is een van de belangrijkste mannen in Washington als het gaat om ontwapening en nucleaire veiligheid. Aan de hand van het interview schreef ik een stukje voor de NOS website met de vijf belangrijkste vragen.
