Topic:Foreign Policy and International Relations
Based in Washington and with its reputation for balanced, high-level exchange, the Wilson Center provides an ideal forum for discussion of U.S.-Latin American relations as well as the foreign policy priorities and initiatives of Latin American countries. Conferences and seminars explore U.S. bilateral relations with individual countries, including Brazil, Colombia, Cuba, and Mexico, as well as such topics as the emergence of regional and sub-regional leadership, the politics of energy, and the role of powers such as China and Iran in the region.
Beginning in the early 1990s, the hemispheric security project known as Creating Community in the Americas aimed to foment strategic debate over matters of human, national, regional, and hemispheric security, and to facilitate a coherent response to the opportunities and challenges posed by the Cold War, 9/11, and the accelerating advance of globalization.
