War and Peace in the 21st Century: Democracy in Latin America

Date:
12.Jan.2008
Place:
Palau de Pedralbes
Organised by:
the CIDOB Foundation and sponsored by Barcelona City Council

During the past eight years, one in three Latin American countries has suffered at least one serious political crisis. While their economies have grown at a sustained rate, no reduction in poverty is taking place. Even the very suitability of democratic forms of government is beginning to be questioned. Within this context, on 12 January, the seminar War and Peace in the 21st Century will deal with Democracy in Latin America, and will be attended by leading figures such as Fernando Henrique Cardoso, Ricardo Lagos, Javier Solana and José María Maravall. The participants will be attempting to find formulas for strengthening democracy in the region and to combat populist temptations.
