Description: This Task Force report takes stock of the current situation in Latin  America and the main challenges and opportunities for U.S.-Latin  America relations. Latin America has benefited greatly in recent years  from democratic opening, stable economic policies, and increasing  growth. Many countries are taking advantage of these developments  to consolidate democratic institutions, broaden economic opportunities, and better serve their citizens. Yet Latin American nations face daunting  challenges as they integrate into global markets and work to strengthen  historically weak state institutions. These challenges increasingly matter  for the United States, as deepening economic and social ties link U.S. well-being to the region's stability and development.
