The Global Market: Latin American countries face difficulties accessing global markets due to trade barriers, tariffs, and unequal trade agreements, hindering their competitiveness.
Commodities: Many Latin American economies rely heavily on the export of primary commodities, making them vulnerable to price fluctuations in the global market.
Social and Human Development: Poverty and social exclusion persist, with many lacking access to education and healthcare, driving migration to developed regions.
Political Influence and Governance: Latin America struggles to exert influence in global decision-making forums, limiting their ability to advocate for their interests in areas like trade, environmental policies, and aid.
Technological Access and Digital Divide: Significant disparities exist in internet access between urban and rural areas, further contributing to a widening digital divide.
