The recent 2026 U.S. military operation to oust and capture Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro represents a watershed moment in contemporary hemispheric politics, challenging foundational principles of state sovereignty, non-intervention, and the international legal order. This incident has elicited a tectonic shift in regional diplomatic alignments, with states across the Caribbean and Latin America articulating varying responses from cautious endorsement to outright condemnation.

We invite you to join CALACS & CERLAC on Thursday, January 29 as two leading scholars examine how the U.S. action alters conceptions of sovereignty, impacts regional security frameworks, and shapes evolving trajectories of power and resistance in the Caribbean and Latin America. By interrogating the legal, political, and normative dimensions of this intervention, this conversation invites dialogue on historical anxieties about intervention and hegemony, stimulates debates over collective security architectures, and prompts reassessment of post-colonial statehood and autonomy in an era of resurging geopolitical competition.
