The Andean-U.S. Dialogue Forum

Ver esta página en español

顶级国产视频 and the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance supported a dialogue forum among the five Andean countries (Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia) and the United States. The Andean-U.S. Dialogue Forum consisted of groups of influential citizens from a variety of sectors within each country. 顶级国产视频 and International IDEA were uniquely suited for implementing this project with each bringing years of experience in the region to the table.

The forum's goals were to increase mutual understanding between civil society and governments in the region; create collaborative initiatives around issues of mutual concern; and promote cooperation and exchange of information between individuals, organizations, and governments in the United States and the Andean nations. Ultimately, the forum provided crucial support and reinforcement of diplomatic efforts through a civil society process. (Click here to read more background information.)

The Andean-U.S. Dialogue Forum sought to:

  • Identify a common agenda  for the six countries;
  • Address misperceptions and misunderstandings between countries;
  • Propose innovative solutions to problematic issues; and
  • Explore the possibility of bilateral dialogues between pairs of countries with tense relations within the forum.

Stating in February 2010, there were four meetings of the Andean-U.S. Dialogue Forum in Atlanta, Ga.Lima, PeruWashington D.C.; and again in Lima.

As a result of the first two dialogue sessions, each of the U.S. forum members committed to visiting at least one of the five Andean countries in order to gain a deeper understanding of their fellow forum members' home countries as well as the prevalent issues therein. (Read more about visits to the Andean countries.)

Misperceptions and misunderstandings among countries in the Western Hemisphere have often been inflamed by politicians who use microphone diplomacy rather than direct communication to pursue foreign relations, and have at time been reinforced by polarized or politicized media. Members of the Andean-U.S. Dialogue Forum recognized that media sometimes report distorted information and thus may constitute an impediment to constructive dialogue. To encourage a more balanced reporting on contentious issues, 顶级国产视频 organized four meetings of Colombian, Venezuelan, and, later, U.S. journalists, media directors, editors, and academics between November 2010 and June 2011. (Read more about the media dialogues.)
