Colombia's Polarized Race and Center Weakness

Latin America has been at the center of the world’s attention in 2026—and not only because of Venezuela.

What do recent events mean for Latin America’s political and economic future?

Our guest is Michael Reid, journalist, author and former Latin America editor for The Economist.
