Bridges to Policy
Washington, D.C., April 2019
Tulane students in celebrated economist Nora Lustig’s “Inequality and Poverty in Latin America” course were recently given the rare opportunity to engage with policy makers in the nation’s capital. Partnering with the Inter-American Dialogue and Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS), thirteen students traveled to Washington, D.C. as part of the new “Bridges to Policy” program created by Lustig, Samuel Z. Stone Professor of Latin American Economics and Director of the Commitment to Equity Institute (CEQ) at Tulane University.
Over the span of three intensive days, both graduate and undergraduate students met and engaged with analysts from leading think tanks and policy makers from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank, the Inter-American Development Bank, and the Organization of American States (OAS). Topics ranged from Brazil under Bolsonaro, China and Latin America’s development, challenges of quality education, migration in the Americas, and shielding the poor from crisis in Argentina, among several other discussions.
“The ‘Bridges to Policy’ program uniquely exposes our students to the fascinating world of policy-in-the-making, the value of knowledge in policymaking, and the many career paths open to students interested in influencing policy,” explained Lustig.
Bethany Beachum, a graduate student in Latin American Studies, believes the experience was eye opening.”The ‘Bridges to Policy’ program has influenced my understanding of my career and research focus by putting names and faces with institutions that I only understood vaguely or in theory prior to this.”
After this program’s great success, the School of Liberal Arts looks forward to making the “Bridges to Policy” program part of the school’s regular curriculum.

T20 Argentina Summit
September 16 – 18, Buenos Aires
Since its creation, the primary goal of the Think 20 (T20) has been to develop concise, research-based policy recommendations to enable a broader vision in directing the G20 policy making process. As the world is experiencing some of the most impactful changes in history, the T20 seeks to demonstrate that technical knowledge is at the service of the world’s population and countries’ growth and development. It is our duty to think, produce evidence and actively look for new solutions in order to achieve an economically prosperous, environmentally sustainable and socially inclusive future.
The Argentine Council for International Relations (CARI) and the Center for the Implementation of Public Policies Promoting Equity and Growth (CIPPEC) were mandated by the Argentine government to organize and co-chair the T20 process during Argentina’s G20 presidency.
The T20 Argentina is organized around ten Task Forces that have been working on concrete and relevant policy challenges. These Task Forces provided a platform for the free exchange of evidence-based views and opinions among experts from more than 150 think tanks and senior representatives of the private sector and international organizations from over 60 countries.
The T20 Argentina has been an intense, open and plural process with regular expert meetings, two official T20 Argentina events and more than 25 associated events. The process resulted in the elaboration of more than 80 Policy Briefs with evidence-based policy recommendations to address global challenges such as climate change, food security, multilateral trade and global inequality, among others. The Policy Briefs were reviewed by experts and are published on the T20 platform. A selection of T20 policy recommendations are presented in the T20 Communiqué.
