Conference on Institutions and Development

With the co-sponsorship of the Ibero-American University of Santo Domingo, the Center held the final project conference in Santo Domingo in September 2008. The conference, "Institutions and Development in Latin America: A Comparative Analysis," assembled fifteen investigators from the five countries selected for study to present and debate their institutional reports. Feedback from commentators and other participants will help authors revise their respective reports for publication. A book, to be published simultaneously in English and Spanish, will include all fifteen individual reports plus a synthesis of their main findings. This event was supported by the Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies, the Russell B. Newton Fund of the Office of the Dean of the Faculty, Princeton University.
