Reimagining Regional Governance in Latin America
Tue, July 20th, 2021
Live Online
As Latin America grapples with three overlapping crises — devastation from the coronavirus pandemic, severe economic contraction, and heightened political polarization and democratic backsliding — regional cooperation is falling badly short. Drawing on the recent Carnegie paper on this topic by three noted Latin American experts, this event will probe how regional governance can be productively and creatively reimagined to better meet the daunting challenges at hand.
This event is being held in collaboration with Inter-American Dialogue.
Carnegie does not take institutional positions on public policy issues; the views represented herein are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of Carnegie, its staff, or its trustees.
