Colombia: Its Transformation and Future Challenges
During his February 2016 visit to the United States, Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos’ first public event was hosted by the Woodrow Wilson Center, in partnership with the Inter-American Dialogue, Atlantic Council, Council of the Americas, and the U.S. Institute of Peace. The session focused on a range of issues with a particular focus on the ongoing peace negotiations. Afterward, we asked Latin American Program Director, Cynthia Arnson, to share her reactions. That’s the focus of this edition of Wilson Center NOW.
