Torsdag d. 19. februar 2015, kl. 19.00-21.00: ¿Nuevos horizontes? An Economic + Political Outlook for Cuba in 2015
V. Joseph L. Scarpaci, Ph.D., AIAS-COFUND Senior Fellow, AIAS, Aarhus Institute of Advanced Studies, Aarhus University
This presentation stakes out four broad questions about contemporary Cuba: 1) What changes have occurred in Cuban domestic politics and economic management since the Cold War ended? 2) What scenarios might emerge in a post-Castro era? 3) What would be the impact of a collapse or change in political direction in Venezuela? 4) Does the U.S. trade embargo still make sense? If not, then why is it still in place, and what might make more sense? The talk draws on extensive fieldwork and secondary sources, particularly new remittance data linking the diaspora across the Florida Straits

Onsdag d. 25. marts 2015, kl. 19.00-21.00: The institutionalization of sustainable honey production in Argentina – A discussion of multi-stakeholder initiatives in global production networks
V. Sanja Hegelund, Cand. ling. merc, MA in International Business Communication, Spanish and American Studies, Copenhagen Business School
Over the years the world has seen a rise in fair trade and organic agro-industrial production mainly as a response to socioeconomic inequality and excessive exploitation of the world’s natural reserves. This seminar will present how fair trade and organic multi-stakeholder initiatives, such as Fairtrade International (FLO), have been institutionalized in Argentina with focus on honey production. The objective is to provide insights into what in reality can be perceived to be sustainable, and how power relations between social actors can promote or restrain regional development.

V. Vladimir Pacheco Cueva, Ph.D., Associate professor at the Department of Culture and Society, Aarhus University
The last two decades has seen an increase in the number of struggles over mining and petroleum development in Central America.

A special mention will be made of El Salvador’s case, where the Water not Gold campaign has influenced the government’s decision to introduce and maintain a moratorium on mining projects since 2009.
