LACEA 2020 Annual Meeting In light of the current crisis and the uncertainty as to when life will return to normal, we have decided to postpone creating the website and issuing a call for papers for the LACEA 2020 Annual Meeting. We hope to be able to make a more informed decision by the end of May as to the feasibility of our annual meeting. In the meantime, keep working and writing and, most of all, stay in good health. The dates (November 13-15, 2020) and venue of the University of Miami remain unchanged.

El V Seminario Académico del Observatorio, titulado Experiencias de América Latina y Asia en materia de integración regional, tiene como principal objetivo generar un debate sobre las estrategias y políticas que los países latinoamericanos deberían seguir en los próximos años para “dar un salto de calidad” en sus relaciones económicas con Asia (Asia Pacífico, sudeste asiático e India), mediante una reflexión y análisis entre las dinámicas de integración entre regiones, en los ámbitos comerciales, financieros, tecnológicos, de inversión y cooperación, entre otros. En este contexto, se invita a académicos de América Latina y Asia a presentar trabajos que reflexionen sobre las temáticas referidas anteriormente hasta el Mayo 29 del 2020. El Seminario Académico es de carácter multidisciplinario, por lo que se dará la bienvenida a contribuciones desde diversos campos (economía, derecho económico, relaciones internacionales, economía política internacional, geografía económica, negocios internacionales, etc.). Se privilegiarán aquellos trabajos que tengan una orientación propositiva. Los trabajos pueden tener un ámbito geográfico amplio (región a región) o local (referido a países o agrupaciones específicas). Se alienta a los autores interesados a presentar trabajos relativos a las relaciones de América Latina con la India y la ASEAN, dos actores de gran importancia que han estado subrepresentados en los trabajos presentados en las ediciones previas del Seminario Académico.
