September, 2002 The David Rockefeller Center celebrated its eighth year with a long list of new initiatives responding to President Lawrence H. Summers’ call to globalize the University. At the fall meeting of the Center’s Policy Committee, President Summers expressed skepticism about “area studies” and challenged the David Rockefeller Center and the other international centers at Harvard to contribute even more to international- izing research agendas, the curriculum, and the institution as a whole.

This report on the Center’s activities during 2001–02 documents how vigorously DRCLAS Mission Statement responded to the President’s challenge. Some of the Center’s new initiatives consisted of modest The David Rockefeller Center for incremental extensions of programs and activities already underway. Others, however, amounted Latin American Studies at Harvard to major innovations, not only for the Center, but for the entire University. University works to increase knowledge The most significant of the initiatives is the new DRCLAS Regional Office in Santiago, Chile. of the cultures, economies, histories, With President Summers’ strong support, the project was approved early in January.

Altogether, the Center provided financial support to 262 Harvard students (up from 33 in 1995) to travel to the region and helped arrange service and work internships for dozens more. With the new study abroad rules in place and other helpful changes in prospect, the Center can now focus on increasing the number of College students engaged in term-time study in Latin America. The optimism about Latin America’s future and the future of inter-American relations, which was so much in evidence when DRCLAS was founded late in 1994, has suffered severe blows recently. Five interruptions of constitutional rule in as many years, the tragedy of Argentina and the threat of contagion, the recession- induced retreat toward protectionism, and many other difficulties and distractions have undermined con- fidence. These setbacks underscore the importance of educating the future leaders of the hemisphere and make it all the more important to encourage top-quality basic and applied research on Latin America. With a terrific staff and a wonderfully supportive faculty in a globalizing University, and with generous friends throughout the Americas, the Center will do even more to support these vital activities in the future.
