This course is designed to support the community of security and defense professionals in the Americas to pursue collaborative approaches to mutual opportunities and challenges.

The Perry Center maintains a network of forty-two partner institutions, of which twenty-two have signed formal partnership agreements with the Center. Most of these institutions are professional military education institutions and defense and security-focused research institutes based in Latin America and the Caribbean. Although the faculty at these partner institutions are invited to come as participants to the courses (or, in some cases, as adjunct faculty and presenters), the Center has not so far created an academic offering tailored to them. This workshop would address this need by providing an academic forum specifically designed for people in this career track, while also demonstrating the unique value of formal partnership with the Perry Center.
