Abstract

Latin American studies have entered the period of scientific maturity. This connotation is valid both for the global context and for domestic practice. The results are obvious: tens of thousands of book titles in the bibliography on Latin American issues in the world count, far beyond the thousands of titles of monographic publications and thematic collections published in total in the Soviet period and in our time. Thanks to this, today the multidisciplinary “scientific mirror” reflects the region in all its diversity and largely adequately. Yet new guidelines are needed to find answers to many complex questions posed by Latin American practice amid the global transition to a different mode of reproducing the world economy and international relations.
