Institute for Brazilian Issues
The Institute for Brazilian Issues (IBI) was established in 1990 to promote stronger U.S.-Brazil relations within the changing international order. IBI seeks to do so by working with all interested parties, and especially the business sectors of both countries. It encourages the resolution of differences, and helps to identify areas where relations might be expanded. In essence, IBI promotes a greater convergence of viewpoints and interests between the two nations. The institute is directed by Kevin Kellbach and operates within the Center for Latin American Issues, an integral part of the GW School of Business.
