ASCE CALL FOR ABSTRACTS / PAPERS / PANELS
ASCE’s Twenty Sixth Annual Meeting: “Cuba: Assessing the Reforms”
July 28-July 30, 2016
 

The three-day conference, around the theme “Cuba: Assessing the Reforms,” will focus on evaluating the state of the Cuban economy taking into consideration developments that come out of the VII Congress of the Cuban Communist Party in April. The key issue remains whether Cuba will implement the economic reforms needed to stimulate the private sector and attract foreign investment to spur economic growth. Will Cuba seek to develop and modernize its primitive banking system? When will currency reform be implemented? When will the agricultural sector be restructured to increase productivity and output? Can we expect Cuba to develop its banking system and establish well-functioning capital markets? The conference will also include a plenary session on Cuban economic and political trends as well as sessions on social, legal, and sectoral issues related to the economy and a student panel.
 

We also hope to have again a strong presence of scholars and intellectuals from the island.
 

Requirements: Abstracts, papers, and/or panel proposals should describe original work related to the economy of Cuba in a broad sense, including legal, sectoral, and social aspects of economic development. Abstracts must not exceed 250 words and must be received via an email to asce@ascecuba.org by May 22, 2016. Include the words “ASCE CONFERENCE ABSTRACT” in the subject line. Authors of accepted papers will be required to register for the annual conference.

La conferencia de tres días sobre el tema de fondo “Cuba–Evaluando las Reformas?”, se centrará en los cambios que se pudieran esperar después del VII Congreso del Partido Comunista de Cuba que se celebrara en abril. ¿Hará Cuba las reformas internas necesarias para atraer la inversión extranjera e impulsar el desarrollo económico? ¿Cuándo se implementarán las reformas monetarias? ¿Cuándo se restructurará el sector agrícola para aumentar la productividad y el producto? ¿Podemos anticipar que Cuba desarrolle el sector bancario y establezca mercados de capital que operen eficientemente? 

La conferencia también incluirá una sesión plenaria sobre tendencias económicas y políticas cubanas, así como sesiones sobre temas sociales, legales y sectoriales relacionadas con la economía y un panel de trabajos elaborados por estudiantes.
También esperamos tener de nuevo una amplia presencia de académicos e intelectuales de la isla.
