World Affairs Forum to host Dr. Evan Ellis, Research Professor of Latin American Studies, U.S. Army War College Strategic Studies Institute for an Ambassadors’ Roundtable presentation and breakfast.

“Whatever the course that Venezuela follows, the outcome is likely to present the U.S. with difficult policy choices. It may, for example, have to work with a regime of nominally socialist kleptocrats closely aligned with and dependent on China and Russia, in order to avoid the collapse of the country in a way that could destabilize the region.” -Dr. Evan Ellis

Dr. Ellis is a research professor of Latin American Studies at the U.S. Army War College Strategic Studies Institute with a focus on the region’s relationships with China and other non-Western Hemisphere actors, as well as transnational organized crime in the region.
