The Latin and South America Seminar is a special Political-Economic Conflict Seminar in which participants examine the remarkable economic growth and political transformations sweeping through Latin America and the diverse pressures, ambitions, and fears playing on America’s hemispheric neighbors.  The impact on and implications of these trends for United States (U.S.) policy and strategy are elucidated by regional experts, foreign policy specialists, and political and economic commentators.  This seminar highlights those key political, economic and security issues that are of particular concern, and analyzes alternative U.S. policy responses.  Drawing upon the knowledge and experience of a diverse group of prominent experts on Latin and South America, this seminar addresses the historic challenges to U.S. national security interests presented by the rise of Central and South America and the changes permeating the southern hemisphere.  Talks are informal and off-the-record.
