8. Much has been made of the recent electoral triumphs of the left in Latin America, and in some countries leaders articulate a rhetoric that explicitly rejects "neoliberalism" and market-oriented reforms. In practice, however, no Latin-American countries, including Cuba, have sought to isolate themselves from global economic trends. Quite the contrary.
