2015 Siciliano Forum
U.S. ties with Latin America have never been more critical. The U.S. now recognizes the region as one of its fastest-growing trade partners, a key ally in developing alternative fuels, as well as its largest source of immigrants - both documented and undocumented - and illegal drugs. Furthermore, as Latin America's global impact steadily increases, the United State's dominant influence in the region is waning. Indeed, Latin American countries have not only grown more independent but are also forging closer ties with other global powers including China and India.
In recognition of this complex and changing landscape, the Hinckley Institute of Politics at the University of Utah is proud to present the 17th Annual Rocco C. and Marion S. Siciliano Forum, Considerations on the Status of the American Society, which will examine "The Future of U.S.-Latin American Relations." This weeklong forum (February 23-March 3) will consist of 15 informative events including several live KUER RadioWest broadcasts, an art exhibit, and a documentary screening.
