Rightward shift, foreign intervention and the production of insecurity
Important: Due to the global COVID-19 outbreak, the ACSS-CLACSO Conference (originally scheduled for May 7-8, 2020) has been postponed, and new dates will be announced later. We would like to begin planning the Conference content and participants, even though we don't yet have exact dates. Therefore, we encourage you to submit your abstract. We appreciate your understanding during these challenging times. Please stay tuned for ongoing updates on the website and social media regarding this Conference.
During the second half of this year, in the city of Buenos Aires, the Latin American Council of Social Sciences (CLACSO) and the Arab Council of Social Sciences (ACSS) will hold the conference “Turn to the Right, Foreign Intervention and Production of Insecurity” with the purpose of strengthening relations between Latin America, the Caribbean and the Middle East.
We invite those interested to submit proposals for research and analysis of foreign intervention and the production of insecurity within the context of the resurgence of right-wing movements in the last decade in Latin America, the Caribbean, and the Middle East. Contributions may take the form of contemporary or historical comparative case studies, conceptual/theoretical works on different forms of intervention (political, economic, security/military), and analyses of the varying levels of securitization and insecurity in both regions.
