Within the study of US international relations and foreign policy the influence of ethnic groups in US foreign policy has been analyzed. What is totally new to this debate is the hemispheric context, a XXI century where US policy towards the region limits itself to bilateral free trade agreements and contestation strategies against left-wing governments. Rodolfo O. De la Garza (2000) book Latinos in US Foreign Affairs, Jorge Dominguez's essay Latinos in US foreign affairs (2003) and the report of the Chicago Council on Foreign Affairs on the matter have elucidated key aspects of the Latino involvement and mentalities regarding US engagement in world affairs. Now, the scope of our questions, hypothesis and possibilities of action today in 2015 must change to analyze Latinos' impact in US foreign policy towards Latin America and the Caribbean in times of increasing political coordination among sub-regional multilateral institutions, projection of regional institutions as entities with international juridical personality, new alliances, strategic regionalism and the role of regional powers in an emerging multipolar world. We will briefly explain the determinant phenomenon in the region's international relations to understand the regional landscape and how it works; first, a regional space formed by superimposed regional integration and regionalist schemes; and secondly, the role of the leadership of regional and secondary powers in the political and institutional makeup of some of the multilateral regional and sub-regional institutions. The books presented today will help us in this effort. The book " Breve Historia de la integración de América Latina y el Caribe: Un sueño bicentenario " by Sergio Guerra Vilaboy is a detailed work that scrutinizes the power and development of the Latin American and Caribbean integrationist thought. The work is an exhaustive account of region-building and the ways its citizens have been defining themselves and carving their aspirations based on values and interests from the XIX century to the XXI century's post-liberal and post-hegemonic regionalism. It explains in a succinct and clear way the legacy of the so-called conceptual capacities of the Latin American and Caribbean region and the conceptual tools the region has built over time to face structural and regional challenges. In the chapter about ALCA, the book analyses the hemispheric project of the US in the post-Cold War era based on free market multilateralism. A project designed to create a single market on goods and services for the entire Western Hemisphere (Free Trade Area for the Americas) within the norms of the WTO, a concept that was later replicated at the sub-regional scale by CARICOM, the Andean Community and others in the form of a CEPAL's sponsored model called open regionalism.

Cambios de régimen han sucedido en América Latina y el Caribe, siempre apoyados desde Estados Unidos, y en ocasiones por la Organización de Estados Americanos.

As we will see, these seemingly disjointed obstacles, amongst others, have been disconnecting Puerto Rico from the world, problematic because it forbids Puerto Rico’s engagement in the kind of multilateral humanitarian cooperation that could have in fact, saved it from the horrific Maria after-math it is now so crudely and inhumanely suffering.
