Program overview

BeLatin has established a forum for scholars and advocates interested in Economic Freedom and Economic Regulation, with a regional focus on Latin America and the US. These are scholars and advocates who wish to present and discuss papers on political and economic issues and whose work focuses on Law as an interdisciplinary discipline. The main goal of our first series of seminars is to influence public policy in Latin America by developing free market ideas with an informed and influential audience.

BeLatin was created to counter the influence of others groups in Latin America who favor government regulation and central planning. Unlike this efforts, however, BeLatin expects to be much more open to different political orientations and influential outside the academy.
