Este jueves 3 de agosto se realizará el lanzamiento del Núcleo Milenio Impactos de China en América Latina y El Caribe (ICLAC), propuesta interdisciplinaria que busca profundizar la comprensión de las consecuencias políticas del “boom de capital” de China en América Latina en los últimos veinte años, tanto en su dimensión socioeconómica como cultural.
La actividad contará con la charla magistral del ministro de Relaciones Exteriores de Chile doctor Alberto Van Klaveren y de la doctora Cynthia Sanborn Senior Researcher del Núcleo Milenio ICLAC e investigadora del Centro de Investigación de la Universidad del Pacífico, Perú.
Francisco Urdinez, Director of the Nucleus, points out that China is expected to become the largest economy in the world between 2026 and 2030.“It has been such a huge phenomenon that there has not yet been a systematization and a complete understanding of it. We seek to contribute to the formulation of foreign policy towards China and provide information that allows us to better understand the impacts of China throughout Chile."
Alternate director, María Montt, mentions for her part that “The Nucleus highlights the strong presence of China and the lack of joint research”.
The Millennium Nucleus ICLAC is housed at the Pontificia Universidad Católica Chile, Universidad Chile, Universidad Católica Norte, and Universidad Tarapacá, and comprises researchers from these and other national and international universities. ICLAC is funded and supported by the Millennium Scientific Initiative of the National Research and
Development Agency (ANID).
Desarrollo (ANID).
The launch will take place on August 3 at 9:00 a.m. in the San Alberto Hurtado Cruchaga Hall of Honor of the Central House of the Pontificia Universidad Católica Chile (Av. Libertador Bernardo O'Higgins 340, Santiago). The event will be held in person and broadcast through the UC Events Channel (Youtube)
