 National
and International Economics: Even though the
market social economy is becoming increasingly prevalent around
the world, there are still vast sectors that do not completely accept
it or that only partially follow its principles, without taking
on or fully understanding the responsibilities and efforts this
implies. All of the actions, studies and research within this program
are intended to promote development based on a free market economy,
which we believe to be the only realistic path to development and
social justice. Libertad y Desarrollo's Center of International
Economics studies economic and financial events in the world economy,
particularly within Latin America. |
 Social
Affairs Program: Eradication of extreme poverty
through efficient social policies is fundamental to the inclusion
of all citizens in a nation's development. These social policies
include a combination of emergency assistance and resources to be
invested in human capital. One of the main objectives of this program
is to contribute, through the analysis of public policies, to definitive
solutions to the problems associated with poverty. Eliminating these
problems is an essential condition for a free society, as are studies
of issues related to education, health, justice, housing and family. |
 Political
& Institutional Program: Economical and social
programs cannot develop firmly if they lack an adequate political
institutional infrastructure. This program carries out studies and
analyses of political and cultural issues while promoting a free
social order and Christian/Western values. Research topics include
governance, charters, democratic reform, land use and aboriginal
policy. |
 Legislative
Program: This program allows Libertad y Desarrollo
to funnel legislative work and analysis of bills directly to legislators,
which results in an enrichment of the bills themselves and a better
orientation toward the principles of freedom. |
 Environmental
Program: This program is dedicated to the analysis
and promotion of environmental public policies from the point of
view of a free society. In order to achieve this free society, the
program promotes the use of economic incentives and market-based
solutions. These solutions contribute to the design of channels
allowing for environmental protection in accordance with high economic
development. The program gives recommendations to congressmen, political
parties and public and private organizations. |
 Communications
Program: This
program facilitates the distribution of the studies, analyses and
proposals prepared by Libertad y Desarrollo researchers. In addition,
the program organizes events, meetings and seminars. |
