The three-day Latin America Seminar will provide a 360-degree examination across the broad spectrum of issues animating Latin America’s future. From domestic divisions to geopolitics, from economic development to social transformations, Latin America is experiencing profound changes that will reverberate across the Americas and the world. Some parts of Central and South America are emerging as major players on the global economic stage, while others are resisting this historical transformation. Failure to reform assures the continuation of internal instability; increased immigration; the proliferation of global terrorism; and provides opportunities for influence from countries such as Russia, China, and Iran, whose aspirations are generally incompatible with U.S. national and international security interests. A prestigious group of regional experts, foreign policy specialists, and political/economic commentators will explore the impact and implications of these trends for United States policy and strategy. This special foreign policy program will also highlight key political, economic, and security issues that are of particular concern to those senior managers and executives in attendance from the Department of Defense.
