The Lithium Triangle: To Be or Not to Be Successful
In a new report, The Lithium Triangle: To Be or Not to Be Successful, the Wilson Center’s Latin America Program examines the region’s lithium industry, its role in regional economic development, and its importance to the global energy transition.
This flagship report, the second in a series from the Lithium Triangle Initiative, examines China’s increasing presence in Argentina’s lithium industry and its distinctive investment strategies; Chile’s potential for expanding its lithium production as well as the challenges posed by institutional, political, environmental, and social considerations; and the diverse factors that have so far prevented Bolivia from developing its vast lithium resources.
Please join us on Thursday, May 2, 2024, from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. (EST), for a virtual conversation with the report’s authors and the editor of our flagship report on Latin America’s lithium sector. This event is part of our Latin America Energy Transition Initiative.

The Wilson Center’s prestigious Latin America Program provides non-partisan expertise to a broad community of decision makers in the United States and Latin America on critical policy issues facing the Hemisphere. The Program provides insightful and actionable research for policymakers, private sector leaders, journalists, and public intellectuals in the United States and Latin America. To bridge the gap between scholarship and policy action, it fosters new inquiry, sponsors high-level public and private meetings among multiple stakeholders, and explores policy options to improve outcomes for citizens throughout the Americas. Drawing on the Wilson Center’s strength as the nation’s key non-partisan policy forum, the Program serves as a trusted source of analysis and a vital point of contact between the worlds of scholarship and action.
