Americas Program

The CSIS Americas Program seeks to be a leading source of ideas defining the future of national security in the region.

The program was established with the clear forward-looking mission to elevate the discussion on the hemisphere to a strategic level.

The program informs and produces insightful analysis and recommendations for partners in the United States and the region. 

The Americas Program focuses on four thematic priorities:

  1. Regional security, particularly in the Northern Triangle, Mexico, and the impact of the Venezuelan crisis on the region
  2. The erosion of democratic practices and institutions  
  3. Equity in Latin America and the Caribbean
  4. The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on trade and development in the region

The CSIS Americas Program also houses the Argentina-U.S. Strategic Forum and the Future of Venezuela Initiative.
