UPDATE

The Latin American Program and its institutes on Mexico and Brazil serve as a bridge between the United States and Latin America, providing a nonpartisan forum for experts from through-out the region and the world to discuss the most critical issues facing the Hemisphere. The Program sponsors research, conferences, and publications aimed at deepening the understand-ing of Latin American and Caribbean politics, history, economics, culture, and U.S.-Latin American relations. By bringing pressing regional concerns to the attention of opinion leaders and policymakers, the Program contributes to more informed policy choices in Washington, D.C., and throughout the Hemisphere.

The Latin American Program coordinates an active program of public meetings featuring

scholars, analysts, and public officials from the United States, Latin America, and around the world. The Program and its related Institutes host scores of events each year in Washington, D.C., and throughout Latin America. These events allow researchers, members of the policymaking community, the media, and the general public to keep apprised of current thinking in and about Latin America on a broad range of critical issues.

The Program conducts outreach to members of the U.S. Congress and their staffs, aimed at broad-ening congressional understanding of key issues in bilateral U.S.-Latin American relations. In coopera-tion with the Wilson Center on the Hill project, the Program sponsors trips to the region for members of Congress as well as briefings for staff.

The Brazil Institute strives to further bilateral

understanding by promoting informed dialogue

between these two diverse and vibrant multiracial

societies in five ways: by convening policy forums

that stimulate nonpartisan reflection and debate

on critical issues related to Brazil; in promoting

and sponsoring meetings of academics and

policymakers and disseminating their research;

by participating in the broader effort to inform

Americans about Brazil through lectures and

interviews given by the Institute’s director; in ap-

pointing leading Brazilianists as Wilson Center

scholars; and by maintaining a comprehensive

website devoted to Brazil-focused news, analysis,

research, and reference materials.

ABOUT THE WOODROW WILSON CENTER

The Center is the living memorial of the United States of America to the nation’s twenty-eighth president, Woodrow Wilson. Congress established the Woodrow Wilson Center in 1968 as an international institute for advanced study, symbolizing and strengthening the fruitful relationship between the world of learning and the world of public affairs.” The Center opened in 1970 under its own board of trustees.

In all its activities the Woodrow Wilson Center is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization, supported financially by annual appropriations from Congress, and by the contributions of foundations, corporations, and individuals. Conclusions or opinions expressed in Center publica-tions and programs are those of the authors and speakers and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Center staff, fellows, trustees, advisory groups, or any individuals or organizations that provide financial support to the Center.
