Resource Nationalism and Latin American Oil Production

Policy Matters

Latin America is one of the world’s largest hydrocarbon producers. Yet the countries of the region present a mixed picture in terms of performance in the oil sector. Moreover, they confront a rapidly changing political, technological and market environment. Which countries are seizing the opportunities offered by increasing oil production? Which are lagging? And why?

This episode’s guest is Dr. Francisco Monaldi. He is the Fellow in Latin American Energy Policy at the Baker Institute’s Center for Energy studies.

Note: This episode was recorded before the collapse of global oil prices in early March.
