The 2009 Latin America Policy
Seminar in Washington, DC
"Current Policy Issues in
US-Latin American Relations"
Directed by International Relations
Program Chair and Former Ambassador
Donald J. Planty
This seminar will focus on real world
policy issues currently affecting Latin American and the US.
We will look at overall US policy for the region (is there one?) and
its impact; the emergence of the so-called "new Left" in Latin
America and the meaning for the region and the US; the role of trade
policy and specific initiatives like CAFTA and the FTAA; and we will
treat both country and "functional" issues -- for example, where is
Cuba headed, Venezuela and Chavez, the special case of Colombia,
transnational crime, particularly narcotrafficking, instability in
the Andean sub-region; the special case of Chile, Brazil as aspiring
regional leader, etc. The one-week seminar in Washington, DC
will include presentations and panel discussions by practitioners in
the field and involve considerable student interaction. There
will be introductory classes held in February in Syracuse, at which
students will receive the course syllabus, including reading
requirements.
