Primer Congreso Latinoamericano de Opinión Pública
"Public opinion, social conflict and political order”

From April 12 to 14, WAPOR’s first regional conference, “Public Opinion, Social Conflict and Political Order”, was held in the city of Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay.

Michael Traugott, WAPOR’s president, opened the conference to a gathering of 120 public opinion researchers. For two days, and with the added pleasure of being in such a charming and historical city, these professionals discussed issues related to political parties and campaigns, the media, political cultures, identity, gender, social mobility, and democracy in our continent. Twelve countries were represented – ten from Latin America – as well as 40 research firms and more than 30 academic centers and universities.
