Call for Papers – Economics and Business Review – Special Issue

Prospects and Challenges of Latin American Economies

In the wake of new challenges such as income inequalities, populism, rise of protectionism, climate change, development of new technologies, demographic structure shifts and migration, countries and international organisations are looking for new solutions (CEPAL 2018). The debates on prospective and post-liberal social and economic paradigms that would respond to the above-mentioned challenges have already begun worldwide. Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) are the regions of the world characterised by the biggest persistent disparities. Therefore the appearance of new conditions of development combined with unsolved problems creates both threats and opportunities for policy-makers and chances for academics to contribute to the debates.

Against this background we invite the papers that aim to answer the following general and more specific research questions from an economic perspective:

  1. What is the current macroeconomic situation of the country or regional international organisation of which  the country is a member  and what are the factors that influence the economic development?
  2. What are the most important structural problems of the economy  of the country, what are the policy successes and failures? What are the strengths and weaknesses of the institutional environment supporting the developmental processes in Latin America and the Caribbean?
  3. What is the  impact of the crises in Venezuela, Honduras on the economies of the region?
  4. What is the condition of the financial sector and what are the possibilities of accessing capital in the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean?
  5. What are the trends in the development of enterprises of different branches and sectors in the LAC countries (traditional branches, start-ups, fintech, etc.)? What is the level of innovativeness of economies/ companies in the region and what  policy efforts are there towards strengthening the  competitiveness of the Latin American economies?
  6. What is the level of internationalization of  LAC economies and enterprises? What is the impact of foreign direct investment on economic policy-making in the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean?
  7. What are the relationships between education, the labour market and  the competitiveness of the economies?
  8. What are the prospects of social cohesion and social inclusion in particular countries and organisations?
  9. What are the prospects of integrating the region through  its international organisations such as the Pacific Alliance, MERCOSUR, UNASUR, ALBA or others? What are the dynamics of integration and its economic  stages?
  10. Is economic, social and territorial convergence and cohesion taking place?

 

We welcome high quality articles dealing with micro, mezzo and macro issues well founded in contemporary theories and relevant to an international audience. The papers should not exceed 20 pages, including references and footnotes. For technical details see section and  link “Guidelines for authors”.
