Overview
Latin America is at a critical juncture. The countries of the region are confronted by internal security challenges including transnational criminality, border disputes and eroding democracy which are testing the capacity of governments and their armed forces, diplomats, and security agencies to step up and meet the challenges. At the same time, with wars in Europe and the Middle East, and the world increasingly focused on ways to prevent conflicts erupting elsewhere, the risks of global political confrontation and disorder spilling into the Western Hemisphere are rising.
The third Latin American Security Conference will bring together senior policymakers and experts from academia, industry and think tanks to discuss the current and emerging challenges that threaten to disrupt the region. We will focus on finding answers and identifying pathways to promote sustainable governance in the fields of defence and security.
RUSI’s Latin American Security Programme aims to offer policy solutions to address the risks of instability caused by the current shifts in international security and global re-ordering by looking at Latin America’s relationships with the UK, the US and other like-minded partners in Europe, Asia and Oceania. Our purpose is to encourage debate on the key security challenges facing Latin America and to outline ways to build global security and stability that can benefit the region.
