Great Decisions: Latin American Politics

July 9 @ 6:00 pm CDT

/ Free

This free event is being held in-person and is open to everyone. Please note that Woman’s Club Great Decisions events have moved to the Westminster Presbyterian Church.

As countries across Latin America continue to gain global prominence, how should the United States view the complex political developments and changing geopolitical landscape?

Hear a knowledgeable perspective on politics in Latin America from local expert Rob Scarlett. His analysis will focus on status of Latin America’s economies and highlight recent social/political developments in the context of the increased tariffs and related geopolitical realignments.

This program is presented by the Woman’s Club of Minneapolis through a partnership with Global Minnesota.

The Great Decisions program addresses some of the most critical foreign policy issues facing the United States each year. Global Minnesota facilitates the statewide Great Decisions program by providing access to a roster of local foreign policy experts and to discussion materials produced by the Foreign Policy Association. 

Rob Scarlett, presenter

Rob Scarlett has had a 40-year career in international sales and manufacturing; and although still active in business, has shifted more of his time into service as a director and/or advisor to several small and medium-size companies and philanthropic organizations.

Shortly after graduating from Carleton College in 1966, he became part of a private NGO team that created some of Latin America’s first microfinance institutions. Building on that experience, he began a decades-long business career that kept him active throughout Latin America, Central America, Mexico, and the Caribbean.
