FLACSO in Argentina

FLACSO was established through the initiative of UNESCO in 1957 and currently maintains operations in thirteen Latin American countries. FLACSO's objectives are to promote teaching, research, and scientific cooperation in the social sciences throughout Latin American and the Caribbean. The regional nature of the institution gives it strong linkages with universities, government agencies, and NGOs. FLACSO's faculty members are influential researchers and authors in all fields of the social sciences, especially political science, and are frequently consulted by governments and international organizations throughout Latin America.
