Russia, China, and Iran are actively promoting their agendas in Latin America with little opposition from the United States. The Russian military's recent joint operations with Venezuela, Iran's mounting influence in Latin American politics, and China's continued economic investment in the region all play into Venezuel...an president Hugo Chavez's radical brand of populism. The growing influence of these regimes undermines democracy in the region.
Defense Secretary Robert Gates recently said he was "concerned about the level of subversive activity the Iranians are carrying on in a number of places in Latin America." Admiral James Stavridis, then head of U.S. Southern Command, seconded Gates' statement, adding that "We have seen... an increase in a wide level of activity by the Iranian government in this region." As the new Obama administration starts to pay more attention to our southern neighbors, Hudson Institute's Center for Latin American Studies is convening a panel to discuss issues facing Latin American politics.

As President Barack Obama prepares for a historic trip to Russia next month, a debate rages in the United States over whether the West should seek accommodation with Russia — and on whose terms. Some insist that the U.S. should accept Russian direction over the former Soviet republics in return for Russian assistance o...n such issues as terrorism, North Korea, and the nuclear ambitions of Iran. Others argue that the United States should defend basic principles and avoid any "deal" with Russia that the present Russian regime cannot and will not respect.
To discuss these issues and the future of U.S.-Russian relations, Hudson Institute has assembled the following panel of experts:
David Kramer
David Kramer is a former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State — where he was responsible for Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, and Moldova — and a former Assistant Secretary of State for democracy, human rights, and labor. He is presently a Senior Transatlantic Fellow with the German Marshall Fund.

Piontkovsky is the author of several best-selling books on the Putin presidency in Russia, including his most recent work, Russian Identity (Hudson Institute, 2008). He is currently a Visiting Fellow at Hudson Institute.
David Satter

The Honorable Batbold Sukhbaatar
Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade of Mongolia
On
Mongolia's Relations with Russia and China
and its "Third Neighbor" Relations with the U.S. and Japan
Monday, June 8th
4:00 – 5:30 PM
Mongolia, a resource-rich nation with a storied past nestled between Russia and China, has undergon...e a remarkable transformation in the twenty years since the collapse of the Communist bloc. Once a nation as isolated as North Korea, today, Mongolia has democracy, a market economy, and a rising international profile, in part thanks to an active "third neighbor policy" that seeks to broaden international ties to Western democracies.
In 2005, President George W. Bush became the first American president to visit Mongolia. Prime Minister of Russia, Vladimir Putin, just concluded a visit to Mongolia — a country many Russians still view as a part of their "sphere of influence" — to sign numerous trade, investment, and energy agreements.
On the eve of Minister Batbold's visit to Washington and meeting with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, he offers his views on Mongolia's evolving relations with its geographical neighbors, the United States, and Japan.
Minister Batbold has held his post since September 2008. Previously, he was a member of the Mongolian parliament for four years. He has also held the positions of Minister for Trade and Industry and Vice Minister for Foreign Affairs.
A question and answer session and a reception will follow the Foreign Minister's remarks.
