The University of Notre Dame’s Kellogg Institute for International Studies at the Keough School of Global Affairs, the Inter-American Dialogue, and the Washington Office on Latin America invite you to the event: 

Venezuela: Humanitarian Crisis and Struggle for Democracy

Given the urgency of Venezuela’s humanitarian crisis, panelists will address four main questions: What explains the country’s steep decline from one of Latin America’s richest countries to one undergoing economic and social collapse? What are the most realistic strategies to address the regional impact of the migration and humanitarian crisis? Is a return to democracy likely? Can this change be peaceful?
