At this time, IGCC does not have a research agenda that is specific to Latin America, preferring to partner with the Center for U.S.-Mexican Studies and the Center for Iberian and Latin American Studies, both housed at UC San Diego. IGCC work on trade and globalization and transboundary environmental issues, however, can be applied to problems facing Mexico, Central, and South America today.
IGCC has supported conferences on globalization and free trade and the economic and social challenges of a world in which traditional boundaries no longer exist. IGCC projects on climate change and the effects of pollution from one country on another have great relevance to any border community. In addition, IGCC had sought to promote research that emphasizes the politically
explosive nature of migration and immigration, and the relatively thin nature
of international institutions in this area.
Past Projects on Latin America
In 1997, IGCC and the UCSD Center for Iberian and Latin American
Studies (CILAS) co-sponsored "Regional Integration in the Americas and
the Pacific Rim." This project assessed the compatibility among NAFTA,
APEC, and the envisioned Free Trade Area of the Americas, and in particular,
whether
these plans will create hostile trading blocs or promote globalization.
In
1998, IGCC Washington co-hosted the "Santiago Summit of the Americas: A First-hand
Report"with the Institute for International Economics (IIE) and the North-South
Center of the University of Miami. Prof. Richard Feinberg presented his
first-hand impressions and analysis of the Summit to a prominent Washington,
D.C. audience.
