Latin America in the Third World

Editors: Thomas Field (Embry-Riddle College of Security and Intelligence), Stella Krepp (University of Bern), and Vanni Pettinà (Colegio de México)

Over the past few years, there has been a growing scholarly interest in the Cold War in the Global South.  This has given rise to a number of works on the nonaligned movement, the overlapping trajectories of decolonization and the Cold War, and the rise and fall of the Third World project during the 1960s and 70s.  Unfortunately, Latin America has largely escaped the attention of scholars interested in the larger Third World, despite the region's substantive participation in the nonaligned movement.  Throughout the Cold War, Latin American countries maintained ties with the Second World, and many o fthe region's regimes and popular movements identified with the Third World experience.

This edited volume will bring together emerging and established scholars whose work highlights a diverse range of strategies used by Latin American governments and political movements to forge ties with Communst bloc countries, with the nonaligned movement, and with one another.

We invite chapter abstracts regarding any aspect of the preceding paragraphs.  While we expect many of the contributions to be country-specific, potential themes include tricontinentalism, decolonization, anti-imperialism, and competing concepts of development, modernization, and natural resource sovereignty.  We welcome chapter abstracts dealing with political issues (high and low), political economy, society, labor, and culture.  We are not averse to abstracts dealing with US - Latin American relations, but we especially welcome submissions that explore Latin American agency, move beyond bilateral diplomacy, and make use of Latin American primary sources.

While contributions are sought for all Latin American countries participating in the Third World project, we are particularly interested in including chapter addressing how smaller countries conceived of their participation in the nonaligned movement.  Contributions are therefore sought for Central America, the Caribbean (including Puerto Rican political parties), Bolivia, Peru, Panama, Ecuardo, Uruguay, Colombia, and Venezuela.  These are in addition to the more obvious actors such as Argentina, Brazil, Cuba, Chile, and Mexico.

The deadline for abstracts is December 15, 2015.  Proposals should include a title, one-page outline, and one-page CV with a list of publications.  Following the acceptance of proposals in early January 2016, authors will receive editorial guidelines for submission of draft chapters (7,000 to 10,000 words) by December 1, 2016.

Proposal abstracts should be emailed to Thomas Field (thomas.field@erau.edu), Stella Krepp (stella.krepp@hist.unibe.ch), and Vanni Pettinà (vpettina@colmex.mx).
