The Latin American Program serves as a bridge between the United States and Latin America, encouraging a free flow of information and dialogue between the two regions. The Program, founded in 1977, provides a nonpartisan forum for discussing Latin American and Caribbean issues in Washington, D.C., and for bringing these issues to the attention of the opinion leaders and policy makers throughout the Western Hemisphere.
Our major projects focus on: The Latin American Program organizes public forums, conducts independent research, and offers residential fellowships to distinguished scholars and senior policymakers.
