From the Introduction

The papers in this volume represent the fruits of the work done by the first "class" of the Training Program for Latin American Junior Scholars of Public Policy Research and Analysis, a competitive scholarship offered by the Latin American Program at the Woodrow Wilson International Center Scholars with the generous support of the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation.

The authors of these papers are from Brazil, Cuba, and Argentina. Their research focuses on the nature and mechanisms of those countries' relations with the US and with the hemisphere as a whole. Rut Diamint, Ana Julia Faya, and Ricardo Sennes each spent considerable time in Washington, D.C. in addition to their period of university study. While in Washington they 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 they gained during those interviews and through their research at the Library of Congress, their respective host institutions and other research facilities in the US is reflected in the depth and  thoughtfulness of these papers.

The Program provides insightful and actionable research for policymakers, private sector leaders, journalists, and public intellectuals in the United States and Latin America. To bridge the gap between scholarship and policy action, it fosters new inquiry, sponsors high-level public and private meetings among multiple stakeholders, and explores policy options to improve outcomes for citizens throughout the Americas. Drawing on the Wilson Center’s strength as the nation’s key non-partisan policy forum, the Program serves as a trusted source of analysis and a vital point of contact between the worlds of scholarship and action.  Read more
