Periodically the Institute publishes two kinds of documents focused on the political, economic and social analysis of issues particular to Colombia and to Latin America in general. The first kind of documents are entitled Policy Reports, which intend, in a clear and simple manner, to inform the reader of the more important issues of the moment, analyzed with its own particular criteria. The second kind of documents called Policy Papers, aim with deeper investigation, to help to inspire debates concerning the more complex issues of the current national or regional reality, in order to propose structural changes in government, society and the private sector.
