Key Insights
The document discusses the lack of strategic depth and long-term perspective in public policy design in Latin America, limiting the ability to seize opportunities or contain risks. Developed countries in Europe and Asia have strengthened these capabilities. Latin America can benefit from actively participating in these analyses. The text aims to contribute to this task by summarizing six dominant global trends (and exploring possible scenarios) identified by major prospective groups in advanced countries. It then explores the potential impact of these trends and scenarios on five priority goals highlighted by governments, political and social leaders, and experts from Latin American countries. The topics addressed include governance, inequality, productivity, international integration and alliances, sustainable development, and climate change. The document concludes by suggesting areas for ongoing monitoring, including strategies and policies of advanced and innovative nations, and how to organize this prospective function and strategic reflection in governments and institutes, as well as the convenience of articulating a Latin American network. Direct links to the referenced studies are provided for the reader.
