Overview

Chile’s foreign policy under the newly-inaugurated government of President Michelle Bachelet will continue its longstanding tradition of abiding by international law, promoting democracy, and maintaining active engagement on peace and security issues within international organizations. At the same time, Chile seeks to deepen its ties with its partners in Latin America, with a special emphasis on South America.

What are the major challenges for Chile’s new foreign policy agenda in a changing world? How will Chile adjust to newly-emerging blocs? How will it deepen its insertion in inclusive global value chains in order to enhance employment and investment? How can Chile contribute to and benefit from the region’s development, serving as a bridge and gateway to the Asia-Pacific region?

Latin America Program

The Wilson Center’s prestigious Latin America Program provides non-partisan expertise to a broad community of decision makers in the United States and Latin America on critical policy issues facing the Hemisphere. The Program provides insightful and actionable research for policymakers, private sector leaders, journalists, and public intellectuals in the United States and Latin America. To bridge the gap between scholarship and policy action, it fosters new inquiry, sponsors high-level public and private meetings among multiple stakeholders, and explores policy options to improve outcomes for citizens throughout the Americas. Drawing on the Wilson Center’s strength as the nation’s key non-partisan policy forum, the Program serves as a trusted source of analysis and a vital point of contact between the worlds of scholarship and action.  Read more
