The CSIS Americas Program anchors the center’s work on this region with the objective to elevate the discussion of Western Hemisphere affairs to the strategic level. From Latin American states in transition to the economics of the Southern Cone, CSIS analyzes the most important foreign policy and national security issues of the Western Hemisphere.

The Americas Program works at understanding the political, economic, and social challenges facing the Western Hemisphere, collaborating closely in research with other CSIS Programs, including the Project on Prosperity and Development, the Simon Chair in Political Economy, the Scholl Chair in International Business, the International Security Program, the Transnational Threats Program, and the Global Health Policy Center.
