Speaker's Bio:  A native of Santiago, Chile, Jorge Heine is a lawyer and political scientist. After completing law school at the University of Chile, he studied at the University of York, UK (B. Phil., Modern Political Analysis) and Stanford, California (M.A. and Ph.D.). Jorge’s interest in the interface between academia and public policy arose at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington, D.C., where he was the deputy director of the Latin American Program in the early 1980s. There, he developed a passion for public policy think tanks and has worked with them in various capacities for 30 years, in Latin America, North America, Europe, Africa and Asia.  At CIGI, he has been involved in the Complex Diplomacy, Haiti’s Governance Challenges and International Community research projects, and co-edited three major volumes, Fixing Haiti: MINUSTAH and Beyond, The Dark Side of Globalization and Which Way Latin America? Hemispheric Politics Meets Globalization. As a CIGI chair, Jorge also runs the International Governance Speakers Series, which brings leading global experts to Waterloo to discuss international affairs.
