A number of organizations (mainly international organizations and nongovernmental organization) publish reports on a regular basis (many on an annual basis) that offer analyses and data on different aspects of politics and society in Latin America.

The following sources cover these kinds of reports: (1) regular reports, including (i) global reports that cover Latin America and (ii) strictly Latin American reports; and (2) occasional reports.
