“The Development Challenge in Latin America” discusses the history of the region, its economic practices and puts forward a set of policies for a more productive, integrated and inclusive Latin America. The book addresses topics ranging from infrastructure to natural resources from perspectives that include regional integration, digital revolution, and employment.

The first edition of the Development Dialogues, to be held in Panama, will focus on capacity building and public management for development.
