"This volume documents the wide range of inputs from non-governmental and other sectors to the Summit of the Americas II, held in Santiago, Chile, in April 1998. It chronicles the contributions of civil society organizations to the planning process for the Santiago Summit, while evaluating the progress on implementation of Summit of the Americas initiatives from Miami through Santiago. On issues from free trade and economic integration, to corruption, drug trafficking, and the elimination of poverty and discrimination, an emerging architecture of cooperation has made the Summit of the Americas process the primary vehicle of inter-American relations."-
