Critical Issues in Latin America 2025
Latin America and the Caribbean enter 2025 at a critical juncture, as a series of elections – from Ecuador to Honduras, and Chile to Argentina – coincide with Canada’s leadership turnover and Donald Trump’s return to the U.S. presidency. Migration remains a central concern, while citizens demand reforms to address corruption, inequality, and rising violence. This report examines how these overlapping issues – from elections that could reset political priorities to escalating security and migration crises – may unfold in 2025.
