Tomorrow: Spotlight on Panama
The Council on Hemispheric Affairs (COHA) is proud to present a “Spotlight on Panama,” which will include the first two of several articles prepared by the Panama Committee. The Committee was staffed by a group of Research Associates that have spent several weeks exploring the economy, history, and politics of the region. The Republic of Panama, consistently ignored by U.S. media, is a hotbed for debate over international economic policy, widespread political corruption, and pronounced social inequality. The first of the two articles will be an update on the Wilson Lucom case, which was initially reported by COHA a year ago, and will focus on lawyer Richard Lehman’s continuous battle to protect the interests of the poor children of Panama. The second piece is a shorter article, giving a brief look at the present and future of Panamanian trade with a special focus on the Panama Canal.
