On Oct. 26, KAS New York, the @StimsonCenter, & the @CCACANADA hosted a roundtable on “Latin America’s Changing Political Landscape: What It Means for Multilateralism.” Experts discussed recent elections & their implications for the region’s engagement at the UN. #KASonline

Recent political shifts across #LatinAmerica are not simply a uniform move to the right. Anti-incumbent sentiment, weaker party identification, social media, and demands for tangible results are reshaping electoral politics across the region.

For multilateralism, the picture is increasingly interest-driven & transactional. At the same time, organized crime & Haiti remain important tests for regional cooperation, while the next UN Secretary-General selection offers a key moment for regional coordination.

The private sector contributes far more than financing alone. Knowledge, innovation, infrastructure, networks, and implementation capacity all matter. Trust, coordination, and stronger links between Geneva, New York, and country-level implementation will be essential.
