Marí­a Emma Mejí­a Vélez, Colombia

Who is she? Mejí­a is the newly designated secretary general of the Union of South American Nations (Unasur) who, in conjunction with Venezuela's electricity minister, Alí­ Rodrí­guez, will replace the deceased former Argentine president Néstor Kirchner (2003-2007).
 
Why Watch her? In an interesting decision, Mejí­a's term as head of Unasur will be only for one year, as opposed to the normal two year term, after which she will be replaced by Rodrí­guez. Importantly, she is the first to assume the general secretariat after the Unasur treaty has come into full effect.
