Over the past two decades, much of Latin America has made progress toward greater economic growth, democratic consolidation, and social inclusion. Yet pressing problems remain. What are the critical issues facing Latin America over the coming decade? What opportunities and challenges do they pose for the United States and for hemispheric relations? How can Georgetown university support stronger U.S.-Latin America ties in its teaching, research, and outreach mission?
Ambassador Thomas Shannon, under secretary for political affairs and former U.S. ambassador to Brazil, discussed these issues with Samuel Lewis, the former vice president of Panama and chair of Georgetown's Latin American Board. Professor Ricardo Ernst of the McDonough School of Business moderated the conversation.
