Since entering the 21^st century, Latin America has witnessed deepening economic reforms and relatively high economic growth rates. Democracy has been all the more resilient and, with the rise of the left, political dualism has been reinforced. In the foreign policy area, the region＇s diplomatic independence has been strengthened and its international position is on the rise. Last but not least, poverty rate has been curtailed in many countries of the region, though social problems remain very serious.
