  • Jose Antonio Ocampo, Director, Economic and Political Development Concentration, School of International and Public Affairs, Columbia University; Fellow, Committee on Global Thought.

The Forum is the Journal's signature event, bringing together thought leaders from across the policy spectrum to debate pressing global issues. It is a unique opportunity for students and thought leaders to engage in intellectual debate, with a rigor and spirit of inquiry that foster a more nuanced understanding of the issues. This spring's forum will mark the launch of the Journal's Spring/Summer 2013 issue on The Rise of Latin America. This issue features contributions from Osvaldo Rosales, Christopher Sabatini, Michelle Bachelet, John Coatsworth, Albert Fishlow, and others.

The Spring 2013 issue examines the region of Latin America and its transition from predominantly low-middle income to high-income countries. The geopolitics, economics, institutional, security, and social developments that have emerged within the last two decades in Latin America have profound implications for the region’s future landscape.

The Thought Leadership Forum is co-sponsored by:
Institute of Latin American Studies, Columbia University
BRICLab, School of International and Public Affairs, Columbia University
Latin American Student Association, School of International and Public Affairs, Columbia University
