The OLA
Objectives
The broad objectives of OLA are to:
- Improve academic and public understanding by observing and studying the processes of political and economic change underway in Latin America.
- Foster a public dialogue between and within the United States and Latin America about the challenges of building social democracy in a globalized world, including creating opportunities for Latin American leaders to directly express their views to audiences in the United States.
- Collaborate with Latin American institutions to further these objectives within countries across the Hemisphere by linking and mobilizing ideas and institutions.
Themes for 2011-2012
OLA has embarked on an ambitious work plan for the 2011-2012 period based on five programs:
- President Néstor Kirchner Fellowship
- Latin America on the Move: The Post-Neoliberal Transition
- Building Latin American Bicentennials in the Age of Globalization
- Design and Developement
- Space in Honour of Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo
- See the origins of the Observatory on Latin America: Argentina Observatory.
This program would like to acknowledge the generous support of the Julien J. Studley Foundation
