We are pleased to announce the latest issue of JLAG, 23(3), a special issue focusing on the unintended spillover consequences of energy infrastructure projects in South America.  It contains seven research articles in English and Spanish introduced by a full length guest editorial in English, Spanish and Portuguese, a bilingual English-Spanish Perspective on Puerto Rico that was presented as a keynote paper at the CLAG meeting, and the usual assortment of book reviews.

The issue will is available online via Project Muse, and the physical copies are printed and have been sent out by post in mid-December.

As always, the issue has been a team effort, and especially so because UTP sets a deadline of early December for the last issue of the year, due to the end-of-year break.  The issue has been supported by our Associate Editors, Eugenio Arima and Gabriela Valdivia, our Book Review Editor, Jörn Seemann, and our Associate Editors for Visual Content and Cartography, Martin Gref and Guy Crawford. The production side has been led by our production manager, Yulia Garcia Sarduy, together with our designer, José de la Rosa, copyeditors, translators, and production assistants.  We should also not forget the peer reviewers for this issue as well as for volume 23, who are listed in the front matter.

As usual, we would like to ask for your continued support in publicising the new issue. Please help us to disseminate the content, which we we will be announcing via X (Twitter) (@JLatAmGeog) in the new year.  We would also like to take this opportunity to let you know that, like many institutions and publications, we will be retiring the X account thereafter (i.e. leaving as an archive, not deleting), and moving to Bluesky, where an account is already set up with the handle: @jlatamgeog.bsky.social.

As ever, we also welcome your manuscript submissions (research articles, perspectives and retrospectives, book reviews, and cover art), as well as proposals for special issues, and we request that you please encourage other students, colleagues and collaborators to do so too.

Best wishes

Jessica and Martha
