Latin America’s Resurgent Armed Forces: What Is the Political and Economic Impact?

After years outside the spotlight, militaries around Latin America are increasingly back in public view. Some are playing more prominent roles in politics and the economy. What does this mean for companies, investors, and everyday people? What will be the impact on politics, business, and security in places like Brazil, Chile, Colombia, and Mexico? What does it mean for democracies? Our expert panel will discuss the practical, real-life impact of this emerging trend.

This event will be in English and Portuguese. Interpretation will be available.
