O presente artigo apresenta os principais resultados de um mapeamento básico do perfil de iniciativas institucionais sediadas no Brasil que compõem "campos especializados de produção e difusão de conhecimento e informação sobre a América Latina" no país. Toma-se como objeto um conjunto de 146 iniciativas institucionais em operação atualmente no país com este foco primário de atividade, agenda, projeto ou estratégia de missão. Tendo por referência teórica e metodológica a noção de "campo" de Bourdieu (1983), parte-se da hipótese da existência de um campo significativo de diversos tipos de iniciativas institucionais em operação no Brasil - com diferentes graus e formas de institucionalidade, de natureza pública e privada, com diversas agendas temáticas e interfacialidades em redes de cooperação e de vinculação institucional, inclusive com instituições de outros países - que possam contribuir para processos de integração regional na América Latina e no Caribe na dimensão científica e cultural, para além da econômica e comercial. O perfil do conjunto das iniciativas institucionais objeto da pesquisa foi mapeado segundo os seguintes aspectos: i) ano e década de criação, ii) tipo de organização e estrutura institucional, iii) natureza (pública e privada), iv) distribuição por estado e região no país, v) áreas e subáreas de conhecimento, vi) áreas e subáreas das ciências sociais.
