<span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#404041">In the past two months, large-scale protests and citizen mobilizations have raged against the governments of Andean countries. While the circumstances differ in each country, key moments converted simmering
citizen anger into widespread and sustained street demonstrations amid frustration over deepening inequality, austerity measures, rampant corruption, and an out of touch political class. In some countries, uprisings are also rooted in historical racial tensions—either
in the form of backlash against indigenous and ethnic groups, or with these groups forcefully calling for action on long-standing issues of safety and progress. In some instances, security forces have engaged in excessive force against their citizens, causing
serious concern over human rights abuses and the role of the military in civic and political life. <br>
<br>
Focusing on Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, and Peru, five of our experts will trace the events leading up to the protests in each country, analyze the response by these governments, and highlight instances of repression and abuse where applicable. They will then
explore avenues for peaceful outcomes in each of these countries, including consideration of the role that U.S. policymakers and regional actors can play to help achieve just, inclusive, and democratic systems in the region. <br>
<br>
Join us for a round table discussion that seeks to make sense of protests in the region by examining the particularities in each of these countries. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
