Description
The Inter-American Dialogue is the premier center for policy analysis, exchange, and communication on issues in Western Hemisphere affairs. The Dialogue engages public and private leaders from across the Americas in efforts to develop and mobilize support for cooperative responses to key hemispheric problems and opportunities.
The Dialogue's most important asset is its membership of 100 outstanding public and private leaders from the United States, Canada, and 21 countries of Latin America and the Caribbean-including political, business, academic, media, and other nongovernmental leaders. Nine Dialogue members served as presidents of their countries and more than a dozen have served at the cabinet level. The Sol M. Linowitz Forum assembles this group once every two years to address the most important issues affecting the Americas. The conclusions of the Forum are published and widely circulated in a comprehensive report on hemispheric affairs-with recommendations for governments, international organizations, and private groups.
Dialogue activities are directed to generating new policy ideas and practical proposals for action, and getting these ideas and proposals to government and private decision makers in local, national, and international organizations. We also give diverse Latin American and Caribbean voices access to Washington policy discussions. Although based in Washington, the Dialogue conducts its work throughout the hemisphere, in close collaboration with institutions in Latin America, the Caribbean, and Canada. A majority of our Board of Directors are from Latin American and Caribbean nations, as are more than half of the Dialogue's members and participants in our other leadership networks and task forces.
