#228 The Changes in the Inter-American System in the 1990s
By Ana Julia Faya
From the Introduction
This paper represents the fruit of the work done by Ana Julia Faya, a member of the first "class" of Latin American Junior Scholars participating in the Junior Scholars Training Program, a competitive scholarship offered by the Latin American Program at the Woodrow Wilson International Center Scholars, with the generous support of The Ford Foundation.
Ana Julia, a resident of Cuba, works for the Centro Félix Varela. Her research focuses on the nature and mechanisms of her countries' relations with the US and with the hemisphere as a whole. She spent considerable time in Washington, D.C. in addition to her period of university study. While in Washington she met with officials from each branch of the US government involved in the formulation of policy toward Latin America, as well as with policy experts and regional specialists from a variety of institutes in the area. The insight she gained during those interviews and through her research at the Library of Congress, her host institution and other research facilities in the US is reflected in the depth and thoughtfulness of this paper.
