As some of you know, I moonlight as an analyst at Wikistrat, a crowd-sourcing strategy firm. The idea is to take advantage of a wide range of vantage points on a particular problem, and the technical solution (a wiki that allows anyone to propose ideas and edit) is pretty nifty. This is one of our latest products:

Does the growth of Chinese economic relations with Latin America have the potential to erode U.S. leadership in the region? With some Latin American countries chafing under American hegemony, China could make political and military inroads. Indeed, its growing economic and military strength could provide the biggest challenge to the Monroe Doctrine in two centuries, leading to the question: will the U.S. respond. And if so, how?

In this report, Wikistrat Senior Analyst Dr. Robert Farley synthesizes the insights from a crowdsourced simulation that probed potential Chinese and U.S. strategies for competition in Latin America.

Analysts examined China’s best possible strategies for increasing its regional influence, and the range of potential U.S. responses, before evaluating the impact of competition on the region. The analysts concluded that China cannot pose a significant threat to U.S. pre-eminence in Latin America, and that any U.S. over-reaction to Chinese influence could result in substantial harm to the region.
