\"Pardee
Pardee Center Task Force on Latin America 2060<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Latin America has produced vigorous ideas throughout its history, expressed in narratives about its struggles and successes, or its weaknesses and failures. Together, these have shaped a multi-faceted vision of the region and its peoples. Some of its expositors, finding the story to be neither complete nor precise, work toward reformulations, some quite radical. Such generation of knowledge in different fields seems destined to yield a variety of distinct outcomes, at least in part because some of the emerging social and cultural movements are not yet very well structured. This Task Force Report project seeks to harness ideas about the region’s future into a coherent and policy useful discourse.<\/p>\n

A Workshop and a Task Force meeting was held at Boston University on November 18-19, 2010<\/a>.\u00a0A select group of\u00a0invited experts \u2013 a mix of academic scholars and practitioners – were asked to turn their ideas into short \u2018Think Pieces\u2019 essays. Each Think Piece focuses on a specific topical issue for the region as a whole, instead of looking only at particular countries. These Think Piece essays are compiled and edited by the Task Force coordinator and\u00a0published by the Pardee Center\u00a0as a Task Force Report<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Boston University’s\u00a0Pardee Center for the Study of the Longer-Range Future<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Latin American Studies Program<\/a>\u00a0formed a Task Force to analyze the likely developments in Latin America over the next 50 years and the social, economic, political, and cultural patterns most likely to emerge.<\/p>\n

The project\u00a0convened an experts meeting<\/a>, where invited specialists were asked to reflect upon and discuss the following question:\u00a0If Latin America, as a region, is to achieve sustained development and full integration over the next 50 years what major changes, new institutions and reforms have to occur?<\/em><\/p>\n

The co-conveners of the Pardee Center Task Force are\u00a0Prof. Carlos Blanco<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Prof. David Scott Palmer<\/a>.<\/p>\n
