The Millennium Nucleus Impacts of China in Latin America and the Caribbean (ICLAC) invites students currently applying or accepted into a postgraduate program (Master's or Doctorate) to participate in the ICLAC 2024 Scholarship call.
The call is aimed at students or those in the process of applying for postgraduate programs at one of the host universities of the Nucleus: Pontificia Universidad Católica Chile, Universidad Chile, Universidad Católica del Norte, and Universidad Tarapacá. The call is aimed at all disciplines related to the objectives of ICLAC.
The general objective of the Nucleus is to deepen the understanding of the political consequences of China's “capital boom” in Latin America in the last twenty years, both in its socioeconomic and cultural dimensions. It should be noted that ICLAC has two main lines of research: Chinese actors and their strategies in Latin America and subnational impacts of Chinese investment and trade in Latin America.
