Abstract

30-minute audio recording.

This week, Latin Pulse looks at both the upcoming Argentine elections, and some of the themes of past weeks: economic reform and human rights in Cuba, the retreat of US foreign policy from Latin America, and questions about the quality of democracy in Venezuela.
