Why invest in Latin America?

"U.S. investment in Latin America can anticipate some grueling days," warns a noted lawyer, businessman, and diplomat. Those companies that are reassessing their operations in that part of the world, as a result of several expropriations and other events, are likely to be joined by many others in the not-distant future, as Latin governments press for more authority over foreign subsidiaries. The author reviews the situation which U.S. corporate enterprise faces, indicates what kinds of restrictive measures may be in the offing, and suggests some ways in which foreign companies can improve their relations with Latin America and make their continued existence there more likely.
