Below you will find information about Professor Ekaterina Kosevich and her book:
Professor Ekaterina Kosevich is an Associate Professor at the Faculty of World Economy and International Affairs and the School of International Affairs at HSE University.

The book “Extra-regional Powers in Latin America in the 21st Century: The Impact of the US, EU, China, and Russia” addresses the question: What role do extra-regional actors — the US, China, the EU, and Russia — play in the new system of international relations formed in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) at the beginning of the 21st century? Ultimately, the book opens a new multilateral perspective on the role and place of LAC in global processes in the context of the interaction and confrontation between the worldviews of the West and the non-West.
