Good morning and happy Friday!
I sent a newsletter yesterday about Bolivia’s coup attempt. I’m spending more time writing and analyzing the coup than the organizer did planning it.
For World Politics Review, I wrote about Noboa, Lula, and LatAm political ideologies.
Here is this week’s reading list and upcoming events.
