Foreign Policy has a list of the 100 most important thinkers of 2009, and Fernando Henrique Cardoso landed at number 11, thanks to his leadership of the Latin American Commission on Drugs and Democracy. Good for Foreign Policy; this should have gotten more attention. However, why was Cardoso alone in the ranking? Ernesto Zedillo and César Gaviría were the co-authors, but they got no love from Moises Naím's crew.
Enrique Krauze, also a member of the commission (but whose work there was likewise overlooked), was ranked 95th, thanks to his defense of the Mexican state's non-failure, as well as his "insightful" biography of Hugo Chávez.
