Whither
Mexico?
From unremitting drug-related
gang violence; to economic distress brought on by the global financial
meltdown; to a public health epidemic that threatens to wreak havoc with
the country’s vital travel and tourism industry, Mexican institutions face
unparalleled challenges. Can they cope? Can Mexico weather these concurrent
storms? What are the implications for public policy and for regional and
hemispheric security? These are some of the questions that our expert panel
will consider when they convene on May 15.

Prestigious "Minerva" Program
Now Open to All Countries in Latin America and the Caribbean
Since 1994, CLAI has offered its Minerva training
program to public servants from Brazil. The program helps participants,
who come from various government ministries and agencies, to master concepts
in economics, finance, economic policy-making, regulation, and public ethics. "Minervistas" return
to their respective agencies more knowledgeable and better equipped to
do their jobs. Almost without exception, returned participants have quickly
advanced in their careers, some to the highest level of their respective
agencies. Convinced that the other countries in the region could benefit
from Minerva in the same way that Brazil has, CLAI has opened
up the program to midlevel public servants from all countries in Latin
America and the Caribbean.
