Forum: “Processes and international dynamics: Case studies”

The Doctorate in Political Studies program and the Center for Research and Special Projects – CIPE - will hold this Forum.

The event, featuring participation by professors from several Latin American and European universities, offers an opportunity to reflect on the most current topics of the international situation: from the integration process into the new power balances, mass migrations, to transnational political networking.
