The 2008 Western Hemisphere Security Colloquium is the preeminent
event addressing hemispheric security.
The event is designed to bring together
senior academics, security specialists, diplomats and military personnel
from throughout the Western Hemisphere to discuss important security
issues.
The 2008 colloquium explores how to achieve security synergies
by modifying organizational approaches.
Specifically, it asks participants to examine
interagency/interministerial/whole of government/interinstitutional
responses to security issues. The colloquium
starts with a description of the USG's
efforts to rethink how it can achieve cross-government
synergies in pursuit of "positive
engagement" and restructure accordingly. The next several panels
discuss regional approaches to cooperation,
internally and with neighbors, from the
perspective of Brazil, Canada, Jamaica,
Guatemala, Chile, and Mexico. There also
is a look at transforming cooperation at the regional level. The program
will conclude by examining the utility of private/public partnerships
in today's security environment.
In addition, the colloquium
will feature Keynote speakers to include
senior officials from the Department of State, United States
Southern Command, and the Governments of
Colombia and Mexico.
Please join us in the effort to identify new avenues for security
cooperation and help usher in a new era in trans-American security.
