Bush and Sen Marco Rubio likened it to political upheavals in “Banana Republics” and the “third world.” Lucia Dammert, a Wilson Center Global Fellow and professor at University of Santiago of Chile objects to the comparison to the Global South, adding that the U.S. has played a key role in sparking the turbulence, especially in Latin America.
