Convenors Rory Miller (University of Liverpool), Martin Monsalve Zanatti (Universidad del Pacífico, Lima), Sebastian Alvarez (St. Hilda’s College, Oxford University), and C. Edoardo Altamura – Graduate Institute, Geneva and Lund University), accept proposals for the Colloquium on Latin American Debt Crisis of 1982 to be celebrated next April 26-27 at the University of Oxford--St. Hilda’s College/Latin American Centre/Global History of Capitalism Project.
From the organizers announcement: "The purpose of this colloquium is to bring together several groups of people to interchange ideas about the financial and business history of Latin America in the 1970s and 1980s in retrospect, taking advantage of the fact that some of the ‘new’ generation of historians, as well as several academics who wrote on the debt crisis and advised on policy in the 1980s, are currently in Oxford.
Subjects that might form a basis for discussion include:
The behaviour of banks, financial institutions and governments prior to 1982.
The immediate impact of the crisis and the response of governments in Latin America.
How non-financial business sectors in Latin America coped with the uncertainties caused by changing government policies, inflation, and recession during the 1970s and 1980s.
The impact on European and North American banks, and their attempts to negotiate with Latin American governments.
The role played by international financial institutions, central banks, and developed-world governments.
The long-term outcomes of the crisis.
We particularly welcome proposals from doctoral students and early career researchers as well as more established colleagues. Applications should comprise a 1 page abstract/summary (no more than 400 words) and one page short CV. We have some limited funds to support travel costs and accommodation of speakers.
Further information and proposal submissions please send to: latamcolloquium@gmail.com"
