The Inter-American Dialogue is Washington's leading forum for exchange among opinion leaders of the Western Hemisphere and an independant, nonpartisan center for policy analysis on economic and political relations in the Americas. Its 100 members from the United States, Canada, and Latin America include former presidents, prominent political, business, labor, academic, media, military and religious leaders. The Dialogue's comprehensive reports are circulated throughout the hemisphere. No phone calls please. We are especially interested in movements whose goals encompass some combination of cultural rights and control over the societal resources necessary to realize those rights.
