In the last decade, sixty-five million people entered the middle class in Latin America, and social development indices show increasing improvements in the lives of the poor. This discussion, led by the Adrienne Arsht Latin America Center at the Atlantic Council, will survey political, social, and economic trends to watch in this transformed region and evaluate how the region stacks up in these scenarios. The discussion will also provide a roadmap of opportunities for thought leaders hoping to engage with the region, helping them navigate these trends.
