[Print Friendly Version] Strengthening U.S. Relations with Latin America Elizabeth Lisboa-Farrow, Chair, U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, President and Chief Executive Officer, LISBOA, Inc. Remarks to The Secretary’s Open Forum Distinguished Lecture Series Washington, DC October 11, 2002 Thank you Chairman Lang, and Moises Behar for inviting me to address the Secretary’s Open Forum to discuss “Strengthening U.S. Relations with Latin America: The Role of America’s Hispanic Businesses and Workforce.” I am especially delighted to be here during the celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month along with my colleague Al Zapanta, President of the U.S.-Mexico Chamber of Commerce. Al and I had had the pleasure of knowing each other for many years. We have recently found ourselves speaking at some of the same forums in Mexico. I am here as the Chair of the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, but I also represent the Hispanic Council on International Relations. The U.S. Hispanic Chamber, founded in 1979, represents one of the most important vehicles for reaching Hispanic businesses in the country. Our mission is simple: to advocate on behalf of—and promote the growth of—Hispanic businesses.

Search Overseas Opportunities only Advanced Search (Overseas Opportunities only) Work Abroad: Work in Latin America By Dan Bree, Matt Pierle, and William Nolting updated November 2000 Index of links on this page: Volunteer Work Internships Paid Employment Human Resources ... Books INTRODUCTION Working in Latin America can take the form of volunteer work, internships (paid or unpaid), or paid employment. What follows is a brief and incomplete survey of these options and selected leads for finding human, online and hardcopy resources to facilitate your work search. The sooner you start, the more information you will be able to collect. VOLUNTEER WORK Ironically enough, volunteer work is often the most lucrative of the three options for working abroad because benefits including housing, food and travel may be at least partially covered by the hosting organization. Occasionally, as with the Peace Corps or certain religious organizations sending volunteers overseas, a "readjustment" payment may be given at the completion of the "tour of service". The Peace Corps payment after two years of service for instance is about $5,400. Active Peace Corps status also allows deferment or possible forgivance of certain student loans. Many a volunteer has worked in Latin America during the duration of a tourist visa in a particular country (often moving on to another volunteer position in another country when the first has expired). This is one manner in which extended travel can be made more affordable, focused and meaningful.

Home Policy Budget ... Latin America and the Caribbean Latin America and the Caribbean The Development Challenge: Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) and the United States have a shared destiny by virtue of geography, history, culture, demography, and economics. As stated by Secretary Powell in September 2003, "there is no region on earth that is more important to the American people than the Western Hemisphere." The United States has a profound interest in the successful, sustainable development of our hemisphere. A prosperous LAC region provides expanded opportunities for increased trade, and a peaceful hemisphere is paramount for our national security. USAID is fulfilling its development and humanitarian mandate in LAC countries as it continues to respond to the U.S. National Security Strategy. This strategy, as stated by President Bush, links "the future of our Hemisphere to the strength of three commitments: democracy, security and market-based development." Latin America and the Caribbean Program Summary Latin America and the Caribbean Program Summary by Country Notification Levels Please note: All documents are in pdf format The lack of effective rule of law threatens business interests and puts citizens, including Americans, at risk. Narcotics wealth gives large trafficking organizations a practically unlimited capacity to corrupt. In economically weak countries such as Haiti and Jamaica, the drug trade's wealth makes it a great threat to democratic government. Terrorist organizations overtly seek to topple governments by force, while drug syndicates undermine them surreptitiously from within. This has led to Colombia's protracted conflict with narco-traffickers and the forced resignation of Bolivia's president. In recognition of this threat, the U.S. Government is committed to improving security overseas so that threats never arrive on our shores. This calls for targeted foreign assistance and complementary institutional reform programs in countries where organized crime exploits weak governance, especially in the justice sector.

Patterns of Global Terrorism: 19917 Latin America Overview Bolivia Bolivian terrorists hit power pylons belonging to a U.S.-owned power company three times in 1991, all low-level bombing incidents. Domestic terrorism, however, increased almost sevenfold. More than 40 bombing incidents occurred. Among the targets were Bolivian Government buildings near the U.S. Embassy. Five bombs detonated at the La Paz International Airport. The Nestor Paz Zamora Commission (CNPZ), part of the refurbished National Liberation Army (ELN), and several previously unknown terrorist groups claimed responsibility for a handful of the attacks, but most went unclaimed. The new groups included the Tupac Katari Guerrilla Army (EGTK) and the Tomas Katari Communal Army (ECTK). Both advocate the return of Bolivia to precolonial forms of government and indigenous Indian culture. Several significant anti-U.S. and domestic incidents occurred in 1991. On 16 February, the FPMR/D fired a light antitank weapon rocket at a U.S. Marine guard van, but it failed to detonate. Ensuing gunfire by the terrorists injured one Marine. Some domestic incidents were pegged to the release of the National Truth and National Reconciliation Commission Report (Rettig Report), which detailed human rights violations during the Pinochet regime. The FPMR/D assassinated a retired Army medical doctor and his wife the day before the release of the report. The assassination of Senator Jaime Guzman on 1 April was probably carried out by the FPMR/D, although the investigation is continuing. The MJL claimed responsibility for the murder of investigations police chief Hector Sarmiento Hidalgo in Concepcion on 15 March.

Overview Near Term Action Items The Digital Diaspora Network for Latin America and the Caribbean (DDNLAC) "The new information and communications technologies are among the driving forces of globalization. They are bringing people together, and bringing decision makers unprecedented new tools for development" -Kofi Annan, Secretary General, United Nations, November 5, 2002 The Challenge Information and communication technologies (ICTs) are rapidly reshaping socio-economic parameters worldwide. Latin America faces increased challenges unless new and effective means are developed for its beneficial participation in this technological revolution. Two powerful mechanisms for development have emerged in recent years, which can be applied to Latin America: ICT-enabled initiatives, given their potential for greater scope, scale and sustainability, are increasingly used to address socio-economic ills; and Diaspora networks, activated to address challenges in ancestral communities, are contributing significantly to macro-economic growth through their active professional and financial support. Rational The Goal The goal of the Digital Bridge Latin America and Caribbean is to foster a leadership movement, similar to the one launched by the India and Africa Diaspora-communities, in which market-development acumen and activities of high-tech and other successful entrepreneurs are joined with the poverty-alleviation acumen and activities of social entrepreneurs, foundations, and development institutions.

L ATIN A MERICAN S TUDIES C URRICULUM The Latin American studies program at Bucknell encompasses all nations in the Western Hemisphere south of the United States, as well as Latin Americans within the U.S. - the nation's second largest minority. Few areas of the world are so frequently discussed and so little understood as Latin America. The 20th century continues to be a time of rapid and profound transformation in Latin America. Democratic movements and revolutionary theories seek to reorder societies faced with severe economic crises, burgeoning populations, and extreme poverty and inequality. Latin Americans must find solutions to their problems within a global economic and political system that they did not create and over which they have only marginal control. In Latin America, Native American, African, and European peoples form a dynamic cultural matrix that is particularly evident in the field of arts and letters. Latin Americans are universally acclaimed for producing superbly crafted, self-conscious works of art that simultaneously chronicle their past while envisioning their future. Latin American studies at Bucknell integrates several academic disciplines in the social sciences and the humanities. This interdisciplinary approach permits a comprehensive analysis of the socio-political complexity and cultural diversity of Latin America, within the framework of its role in the hemisphere. Study of Latin America challenges ethnocentric attitudes and offers students an opportunity to raise essential questions about human rights, responsibilities, values, and quality of life.

Study Abroad UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAM Introduction The Latin American and Caribbean undergraduate specialization program has over 100 students enrolled. While strengthening the Spanish and Portuguese language offerings, newly-added three levels of Haitian Creole increase academic options. Course offerings extend beyond language and literature to a range of disciplinary and inter- disciplinary course options. Incorporating Latin America content into general education classes reaches more students. The undergraduate conference on the changing Americas gives students the opportunity to present research projects they have done for a class or study abroad to their peers and faculty. Students also can learn about career options for after graduation. Conference-based courses empower undergraduates when interacting with filed experts, thereby enriching the experience. In consultation with the faculty. Working with professional schools has expanded course offerings at MSU and in Latin America through Study abroad programs. Nationally, MSU ranks first for study abroad with over 30 undergraduate programs in Latin America.

Now, under new rules they must apply for political asylum. To assist ABC class members in their application processes, LAAP has trained paralegals to help them understand the political asylum application and suspension of deportation processes and to prepare their legal cases.
