Call for Papers and Panel Proposals: Association for the Study of the Cuban Economy 31st Annual Meeting

 

 


I am delighted to pass along the call for papers and panels just distributed by the Association for the Study of the Cuban Economy for its 31st Annual Meeting: COVID and the VIII Party Congress: Reforming the Cuban Economy. From the Call for Papers:

The theme of this year’s conference is Cuba’s economic reforms, the impact of COVID and the VIII Congress of the Cuban Communist Party. Cuba is in a tremendous state of flux, one that is likely to affect all aspects of the society. No one can be sure how this will turn out, but ASCE’s members old and new have for more than 30 years brought understanding and analysis to the Cuban puzzle. That experience and familiarity with Cuba is needed more than ever as we note that our work is being widely read and watched by more people in government and on the Island. This year we will also focus on the Cuban diaspora. FIU’s Cuban Research Institute will take the lead in developing that part of the program.

The Call Follows below. Please consider joining us in Miami or virtually.

No one can be sure how this will turn out, but ASCE’s members old and new have for more than 30 years brought understanding and analysis to the Cuban puzzle. That experience and familiarity with Cuba is needed more than ever as we note that our work is being widely read and watched by more people in government and on the Island.
