In 2015，the political situation in Latin America and the Caribbean remained stable. First，some countries held elections and achieved regime change. Despite conflicts in elections，smooth transition was achieved. Secondly，the left-wing forces，which have ruled the region for tens of years，faced unprecedented challenges，while the right-wing parties further enhanced their strength. Take Argentina as an example. The left-wing Justice Party lost in the election to the right wing，which signifies that right-wing forces will probably start to dominate Latin America. Finally，the year of 2016 is highly important for political development in Latin America. In Cuba，the 7th congress of the Communist Party will be held；Bolivia and Colombia will face constitutional referendum；and the Venezuelan opposition may stage a recall referendum to the president. All these merit attention.
