{"title":"Introduction: The Ramifications of the War in Ukraine for Latin America and the Caribbean: Political, Socio-Economic and Cultural Perspectives","authors":"Juan Pablo Ferrero","doi":"10.1111/blar.13595","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1111/blar.13595","url":null,"abstract":"<p>Russia-Ukraine tensions escalated from 2021 and on 24 February 2022 Russia launched a military operation to invade Ukraine. More than 2 years after, the war goes on and its consequences thus far are devastating, multifaceted and global. More than 12 million people are estimated to have been displaced by the war. The lack of basic commodities produced by Russia and Ukraine has led to a global energy and food sovereignty crisis, inflation and the consequent cost of living crisis and a deepening of poverty. With efforts to find alternative energy supplies, steps to tackle climate change and the contemporary environmental crisis have been deaccelerated or postponed.</p><p>Such global and diverse ramifications of the Russia-Ukraine war raise questions about the subjectivities, affects, cultural products, political responses and socio-economic conditions that emerge in a region like Latin America and the Caribbean to address the war explicitly or implicitly.</p><p>This Special Issue brings together 11 articles by scholars from diverse fields to critically examine key questions, with a focus on three central themes. Firstly, to what extent has the war altered the regional foreign policy traditions of Latin American countries? Secondly, it explores the role of regional powers such as Brazil and Mexico, and thirdly, it examines the impact of the war on the supply chain of commodities, including fertilisers and coal.</p><p>How have Latin American countries reacted to the war in Ukraine, and how does this reaction align with their past traditions and current political alignments? This question is particularly important because the overall response has been far from unequivocal. For instance, while most Latin American countries have voted in favour of the UN resolution condemning the invasion of Ukraine, they have largely abstained from imposing economic sanctions on Russia or directly supporting Ukraine militarily. Rodriguez in the article ‘International Order and Latin American Reticent Support for Ukraine’ suggests that the main reason explaining this foreign policy actions is the enactment of international principle of non-interventions as a key tenet of international order, which constitutes a foreign policy tradition in the region. Furthermore, they add that ‘due to its colonial past and its vicinity with the United States, the region has attempted to limit intrusive behaviours and regulate the instruments of violence that more powerful countries could use against weaker states. If the West wants to win more Latin American support for Ukraine, it is necessary to disentangle supporting Ukraine and defending the international order’.</p><p>Did Latin American countries show disengagement with a war fought far away and with little impact on their domestic agendas? According to Quiroga-Villamarín in their article ‘Ghosts of Alignments Past: Understanding Latin American Proposals for ‘Mediation’ in the War against Ukraine’, this has not been the case.
