About Foreign Policy and International RelationsAs Latin American countries find new options for political and economic insertion in a globalized world, patterns of international relations and U.S.-Latin American relations are changing. Through events and publications, the Latin American Program aims to deepen the understanding of the region’s new commercial and political relationships with China, India, other Asian countries, and Iran. The Program also explores the foreign policy priorities and initiatives of Latin American countries themselves, the emergence of regional and sub-regional leaderships, the politics of energy development and integration, the role of multilateral organizations such as the Organization of American States and UNASUR, and the way transformations in the hemisphere affect U.S.-Latin American relations.more less
