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:
- Regional security, particularly in the Northern Triangle, Mexico, and the impact of the Venezuelan crisis on the region
- The erosion of democratic practices and institutions
- Equity in Latin America and the Caribbean
- 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.
