The Johns Hopkins Foreign Policy Institute (FPI) was founded in 1980 and serves as the research center for the School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) in Washington, D.C. The FPI is a meeting place for SAIS faculty members and students, as well as for government analysts, policymakers, diplomats, journalists, business leaders, and other specialists in international affairs. In addition to conducting research on various policy-related international issues, the FPI sponsors conferences, seminars, and round tables.

The FPI's research activities are often carried on in conjunction with SAIS's regional and functional programs dealing with American foreign policy, Latin America and the Caribbean Basin, Africa, the Middle East, the Soviet Union, U.S.-Japan relations, Canada, security studies, international energy, the Far East, Europe, and international economics.

FPI publications include the SAIS Review, a biannual journal of foreign affairs, which is edited by SAIS students, and SAIS Papers in International Affairs, a monograph series which is copublished with Westview Press in Boulder, Colorado.

About the Book

The findings of the Study Group on United States-Guatemalan Relations, organized under the auspices of the Central American and Caribbean Program (CACP) at the School of Advanced International Studies, The Johns Hopkins University, focus on the nature of Guatemalan politics, possibilities for democratization, and the options available to U.S. policymakers during the regime of General Rios Montt. Also included in this book are two papers, commissioned by the CACP, that present starkly contrasting views of Guatemala in order to provide a background for the study group's discussions. As anticipated by study group members, the Rios Montt regime fell from power after the initial writing of this report, but their findings nevertheless provide an excellent overview of the debate on U.S. policy toward Guatemala.

The Central American and Caribbean Program at the School of Advanced International Studies, The Johns Hopkins University, is directed by Riordan Roett. The study group was chaired by the Honorable William H. Luers, deputy assistant secretary of state during the Carter administration and former ambassador to Venezuela. He is currently ambassador to Czechoslovakia,

In January 1983 the Central American and Caribbean Program (CACP) at the School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS), The Johns Hopkins University, invited a select group of area specialists including academics, journalists, government analysts, business leaders, and other experts on Guatemala and U.S. foreign policy to review developments in that nation and to outline U.S. policy options. A first meeting was held on January 25 followed by another on April 13--more than a year after the coup that brought Rios Montt to power. Both meetings were held at SAIS in Washington, D.C.

As background for the discussions, the CACP commissioned two papers from Drs. Caesar D. Sereseres and Piero Gleijeses providing contrasting perspectives on recent Guatemalan history, the significance of the Rios Montt presidency, the nature of Guatemalan politics since 1950, and how U.S. foreign policy should respond to the guerrilla movement.
