ECLAC

In late September 2001, MSU and the U.N. Economic Commission on Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) cosponsored a conference in Santiago, Chile, on " Social Capital and Poverty Reduction in Latin America and the Caribbean: Toward a New Paradigm." Well over 300 people, including researchers and government representatives from 17 countries, attended the conference. The MSU delegation of nearly 20 individuals was headed by President Peter McPherson and included ISP Dean John Hudzik and a number of faculty members involved in MSU's Social Capital Initiative, including codirectors Lindon Robison and Marcelo Siles. MSU participants pictured in this photograph are René Hinojosa and Celina Wille (fourth and fifth from left). For more information, go to http://www.ssc.msu.edu/~internat/cepalconf.
