Forrest Hylton: Latin America is leading world in multipolar forms of regional diplomacy.

Visiting the UN this week Bolivian President Evo Morales stated that mediation by UNASUR, The Union of South American Nations, is having a positive effect in a political crisis between his central government and eastern provinces demanding greater autonomy. Journalist and author Forrest Hylton believes that "Latin America is leading the world in multipolar forms of regional diplomacy."

Forrest Hylton is the the author of Evil Hour in Colombia (Verso, 2006), and with Sinclair Thomson, co-author of Revolutionary Horizons: Past and Present in Bolivian Politics (Verso, 2007). He is a regular contributor to New Left Review and NACLA Report on the Americas.

    Evo Morales is hated by Latin American conservatives and power-holders. He's loved by most common folks and progressive intellectuals, except when he's "mouthy." His coalition-building, though, is an excellent move to break US hegemony in L.America....

    Morales has the look and appearance that appeals to his countrymen. He is one who truly understands his countries problems and has the ability to convey his feelings to the masses
