Americas Program

Program Overview

The CSIS Americas Program combines long-standing regional expertise on the Western Hemisphere with a strengthened focus on key transnational topics: democracy and governance; trade and development, and regional security to help shape policy debate and formulation in the United States and throughout the region. Activities of the Americas Program bring together key hemispheric actors from government, the private sector, academia and civil society to pursue issues of mutual interest. The Program maintains strong links to the U.S. Congress and to parliamentary constituencies in the Hemisphere. The Americas Program draws on the broad expertise of other CSIS scholars and programs to bring value-added to its own projects.
