“Political Sistems, International Relations and Identities”
Introduction
The Institute of Caribbean Studies and the M.A in Caribbean Studies, Universidad Nacional de Colombia, campus: sede Caribe (San Andrés Island), Universidad del Norte (Barranquilla) and Universidad del Magdalena (Santa Marta) invite researchers from different fields to participate in the Third International Congress of Caribbean Studies, in Santa Marta (Colombia), August 4-6 2014. Researchers can either read a paper or present their research in progress. This congress is proposed as a contribution to the complex process of understanding the past, present and future of the Caribbean region.
This congress counts with the support of Cátedra Internacional Conjunta Sobre Estudios del Caribe “Juan Bosch”, it is in association with Agencia Cultural del Banco de la República from Santa Marta and Fundación Compromisos.
The central topic for this congress is “political systems, international relations and Caribbean identities”.
In times of globalization, in which the State nations deal with a deep crisis, and in a moment when many Caribbean territories are still linked, in a way or another, to old imperial political systems, it is very appropriate to create an academic discussion about the conformation of the political systems in the Caribbean nations. This is not only because these countries coexist in a very diverse way, but also because in many forms these systems determine the political, economic and social relations existing among them.
This topic might then become a reason for different scholars to examine how the international relations of each territory and its particular identities play a central role in the way they are configured, and integrated as a region. As a response to this academic topic, this congress looks forward contributing to the discussion about the different links that have been established among these Caribbean territories.
Being the central discussion around the topic “political systems, international relations and Caribbean identities”, it is important to note that topics related to the tradition of Caribbean studies are note excluded. In the same way this congress will be an appropriate place for readings about new perspectives related to the Caribbean intercultural relations, regional studies and environment, narratives, history and historiography.
