SUMMARY:Summer School: Rethinking Development in Latin America III
DESCRIPTION:APPLY HERE OR CLICK THE BUTTOM “APPLY NOW” : https://fs8.formsite.com/CNZLjX/ma2ywbxrov/index \nSummer School: Rethinking Development in Latin America III is an intensive three-week summer school (October 5 to October 23\, 2026) devoted to critically reassessing development strategies in Latin America from a progressive\, heterodox\, and interdisciplinary perspective. The school is grounded in the Latin American structuralist tradition\, while engaging contemporary debates on macroeconomics\, inequality\, industrial policy\, democracy\, and environmental sustainability. The program will feature the participation of globally recognized scholars and leading voices in development debates\, including keynote contributions by internationally renowned academics. \nThe motivation of the school stems from both an intellectual conviction and a political urgency. Latin American development continues to be shaped by persistent technological\, territorial\, and distributive gaps that cannot be overcome through market forces alone. At the same time\, the limits and tensions of recent progressive government experiences call for an updated development agenda—one that combines analytical rigor\, empirical evidence\, and critical self-reflection to confront external constraints\, productivity challenges\, social inequality\, and ecological transitions. \nBuilding on two key antecedents: the international seminar “Rethinking Development in Latin America and the Caribbean from Mexico” (2024) and the first edition of the Summer School held in 2025. The 2026 edition will take place in Buenos Aires\, hosted by the Universidad Nacional de San Martín (UNSAM). The school is an in-person only program. The program will be structured around thematic axes including economic theory and macro-trends; growth\, macroeconomics\, and structural change; fiscal policy and tax justice; innovation\, industrial policy\, and international trade; environment and development; democracy and development; and the history of Latin American economic thought. \nAcademic activities will combine lectures and conference-debates by senior scholars and policymakers\, interactive classes\, applied workshops (including AI and machine learning tools for research\, and energy and sustainability indicators)\, and a field visit to observe territorial scientific and technological capabilities. The school deliberately promotes dialogue across disciplines and sectors\, bringing together economists\, social scientists\, policymakers\, public officials\, labor representatives\, business actors\, and civil society organizations. \nA strategic objective of the school is to function as a laboratory for 21st-century development policy in Latin America: training young researchers and technical cadres capable of connecting theory\, data\, and real-world policy challenges; incubating research projects and policy notes oriented toward action; and fostering an interdisciplinary and intergenerational community committed to rethinking development from the region. \nHow to Apply\nApplications to the Summer School: Rethinking Development in Latin America III will be open to graduate students (Master’s and PhD)\, early-career researchers\, and practitioners from economics and related social sciences\, with a strong interest in development\, political economy\, and public policy in Latin America. \nThe program will be conducted in Spanish and English. Applicants are expected to have working proficiency in both languages\, as lectures\, classes\, and discussions will take place in either language throughout the program. \nInterested applicants will be required to submit an online application including: \n\n\na letter of reference from an academic supervisor or institutional mentor (such as a thesis advisor\, fellowship supervisor\, or research director)\, \n\n\na brief CV\, \n\n\nand a short description of current or planned research projects. \n\n\nApplications will be evaluated on the basis of academic background\, relevance of research interests to the themes of the school\, and the potential contribution to a plural and interdisciplinary learning environment. The selection process aims to ensure diversity in terms of disciplinary backgrounds\, countries\, and institutional affiliations. \nSelected participants from outside the Buenos Aires metropolitan area will receive accommodation coverage and partial financial support for travel expenses\, subject to the availability of funds. \nExtended Deadline for Applications\nWe are pleased to announce that the application deadline for the Summer School: Rethinking Development in Latin America III has been extended to May 30\, 2026. We encourage graduate students and early-career researchers with an interest in development economics\, political economy\, and public policy in Latin America to take advantage of this additional time to submit their applications. Selected participants from outside the Buenos Aires metropolitan area will receive financial support to cover accommodation and travel expenses. \nThe program is structured around three thematic weeks taking place from October 5 to 23\, 2026\, in Buenos Aires. The first week explores geopolitics and the history of development\, covering comparative economic history\, the evolution of structuralist thought\, and data tools for academic research. The second week addresses macroeconomics\, growth\, distribution\, and sustainability\, examining the tensions between stabilization and structural transformation\, fiscal policy\, and green political economy. The third week focuses on reindustrialization\, financing\, and digitalization\, with sessions on comparative industrial policy experiences across Argentina\, Brazil\, Chile\, and Mexico\, as well as the role of artificial intelligence in development strategies\, including a special session hosted at the offices of CAF – Development Bank of Latin America and the Caribbean. The program also includes an industrial immersion day in Mar del Plata and a closing policy laboratory session. \nThe school will bring together a distinguished and diverse faculty\, including Mario Cimoli (Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna)\, Matías Kulfas (UNSAM)\, Christian Asinelli (CAF)\, Andrea Roventini\, Martín Rapetti (UBA/CONICET)\, Gabriel Porcile (Universidad de la República)\, Nelson Barbosa (former Minister of Finance\, Brazil)\, Wilson Peres\, Pablo Gerchunoff\, Joao Carlos Ferraz\, Marcelo Rougier\, Daniel Schteingart\, Valentina Arza\, Pablo Bello\, and many others. The school is jointly organized by YSI-INET\, CAF\, Open Society Foundations\, the Universidad Nacional de San Martín (Argentina)\, and the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana (Mexico).

SUMMARY:Money View Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:The Money View Reading Group reads and discusses writings on money\, banking\, and finance. We are a self-directed group. Anyone interested in money and banking can read the readings\, join us for discussions\, or suggest future readings.\nWe meet for 90 minutes via Zoom on Tuesdays at 2 pm Eastern Time US (New York). \n\nCurrent Book\n\n\nAfter the Accord: A History of Federal Reserve Open Market Operations\, the US Government Securities Market\, and Treasury Debt Management from 1951 to 1979\n\nby Kenneth D. Garbade (2021) \nhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/1108839894/ \nFrom the description \nIn this book Garbade\, a former analyst at a primary dealer and researcher at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York\, traces the evolution of open market operations\, Treasury debt management\, and the microstructure of the US government securities markets following the 1951 Treasury-Federal Reserve. This volume examines how these operations evolved\, responding both to external forces and to one another. Utilising a vast scope of primary material\, the work provides insight into how officials fashioned the instruments\, facilities\, and procedures needed to advance their policy objectives in light of their novel freedoms and responsibilities. \nThis is a big book.

SUMMARY:Money View Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:The Money View Reading Group reads and discusses writings on money\, banking\, and finance. We are a self-directed group. Anyone interested in money and banking can read the readings\, join us for discussions\, or suggest future readings.\nWe meet for 90 minutes via Zoom on Tuesdays at 2 pm Eastern Time US (New York). \n\nCurrent Book\n\n\nAfter the Accord: A History of Federal Reserve Open Market Operations\, the US Government Securities Market\, and Treasury Debt Management from 1951 to 1979\n\nby Kenneth D. Garbade (2021) \nhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/1108839894/ \nFrom the description \nIn this book Garbade\, a former analyst at a primary dealer and researcher at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York\, traces the evolution of open market operations\, Treasury debt management\, and the microstructure of the US government securities markets following the 1951 Treasury-Federal Reserve.

SUMMARY:Money View Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:The Money View Reading Group reads and discusses writings on money\, banking\, and finance. We are a self-directed group. Anyone interested in money and banking can read the readings\, join us for discussions\, or suggest future readings.\nWe meet for 90 minutes via Zoom on Tuesdays at 2 pm Eastern Time US (New York). \n\nCurrent Book\n\n\nAfter the Accord: A History of Federal Reserve Open Market Operations\, the US Government Securities Market\, and Treasury Debt Management from 1951 to 1979\n\nby Kenneth D.

Utilising a vast scope of primary material\, the work provides insight into how officials fashioned the instruments\, facilities\, and procedures needed to advance their policy objectives in light of their novel freedoms and responsibilities. \nThis is a big book.

SUMMARY:Contours Of Conflict in Africa: Economics and the Contradictions of Liberation in Southern and Central Africa
DESCRIPTION:Conflict has been central in the long and chequered history of state-making in Africa. The creation of artificial borders\, new monetary regimes and trade patterns from the 1500s occurred not without conflict and resistance amongst and between various population groups. The colonial plunder of African resources and relegation of Africans to the margins of the capitalist economy\, as well as making Africans providers of menial\, indentured/slave/unpaid/underpaid labour\, also caused conflict. The ensuing liberation wars arising from such colonial domination and change ignited fierce resistance from colonial powers. To this day\, decolonisation has existed in name as Africans continue to contend with the enduring legacies of colonial rule. Roaring among such legacies are conflicts of scarcity and inequality manifest on two parallel planes. Neocolonialism has reared its head as African countries chase economic development\, and resource distribution in regional and international institutions remains uneven\, causing enduring silent conflicts. In the case of countries in West Africa\, for example\, neocolonialism has not been silent at all\, with the blatant involvement of countries of the North in violent resource conflicts and civil wars. On a second plane is an equally dangerous legacy borne of the othering by liberation movements. A legacy that alienates the masses to create room for the supposed liberation war heroes to eat from the feeding trough. It has manifested in ethnic tensions\, authoritarian regimes\, civil and transnational wars\, and conflicts over natural resources and land. The threat to global peace due to the cyclical pattern of varied forms of scarcity and inequality breeding conflict and conflict breeding lack\, societal and moral decay\, vulnerability of mainly women and children has caused widespread intervention from international [e.g. United Nations (UN) and European Union (EU)] and regional organisations [e.g. African Union(AU)\, Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS)\, and Southern African Development Community (SADC)] aimed at conflict resolution\, with varying degrees of success. To decipher the contours of conflict that have influenced African history and reshaped historical narratives\, the International Studies group of the University of the Free State and the Young Scholars Initiative will host a history bootcamp in Bloemfontein\, South Africa\, from 28 to 30 October 2026. The boot camp proposes relooking at African conflicts as\, among other things\, extensions and manifestations of local and international dominance\, expressions of scarcity\, subaltern voices\, and quests for emancipation. \nWe therefore invite abstracts on the subjects listed below. However\, papers tackling interesting aspects of conflict with a particular focus on Southern and Central Africa will be welcomed.\n1. War and economic change\n2. Trade and conflict\n3. Natural resource conflict\,\n4. Conflicts arising from land and agrarian reform\n5. Regional and international organisations in African conflicts\n6. Transnational conflicts/Conflicts between states\n7. War and military technology in Africa\n8. Forced displacements\n9. Women and Children in Conflict Situations\n10. Peacekeeping\, peacebuilding and conflict resolution\n11. Personalities in African conflicts \nUpon selection of abstracts\, participants will be required to send complete draft papers following the style of the Southern Journal of Contemporary History. Final selection for attendance at the Bootcamp will be based on the quality of the draft papers. Successful papers will be published in a special issue of the Southern Journal of Contemporary History with Dr Mutale Tinamou Mazimba and Dr Geraldine Sibanda as guest editors. Successful articles and additional contributions will also be featured in an edited volume.\nEarly career scholars are PhD candidates and postdoctoral fellows with less than two publications in peer-reviewed academic journals. Participation in the Bootcamps is open to non-historians\, provided that the proposed paper addresses the general theme of the Bootcamp and reflects historical methods. Participants must be based in institutions on the African continent. Limited funding is available for travel and accommodation.\nDeadline for Abstract Submission: 15 May 2026\nSubmission of selected Draft papers: 30 June 2026\nFinal selection: 30 July 2026 \nFor questions\, contact isgbootcamp3@gmail.com. \n
