Alex is a senior fellow at the Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs. In this capacity he looks

"into Latin America, which he perceives as a part of the West, disagreeing with most concepts that exist today which exclude this part of the world explicitly as a component of the West. Latin America, however, is in Görlach's view an essential part of what is considered to be the Western hemisphere: a shared past, shared enlightenment, and the reception of its philosophy, languages, political system, and religious and ethical beliefs mark the many commonalities. Moreover, through its young population and due to shared urging societal questions in all parts of the Western World, Latin America should and could have a stimulating impact on Europe and the United States."

His first interview featured on the website of the Carnegie Council is with Mexican poet and diplomat Homero Aridjis.

Other interviews are, amongst others, with Henning Andres Droege, a diplomat from Guatemala, with Genaro Lozano, a Mexican academic, journalist and LGTB-activist, and with Brasilien economist Eduardo Wolf.
