The Fifteenth International Conference on “New Political Science” and the Seventh International Colloquium on “The role of philosophy and political science in the cultural heritage of the countries of the American Mediterranean” will be held jointly as a single event at the University of Havana from November 14 to November 16, 2012. During the event, the International Day of Philosophy (November 16) will be celebrated in the Aula Magna of the University of Havana.
The New Political Science is being developed by Cuban and international professors affiliated with the Division of Philosophy and History of the University of Havana and with Dr. Thalía Fung, Honorary Chair, “Political Science from the South.” It is a transdisciplinary initiative, including scholars in the disciplines of political science, economics, history, philosophy, anthropology, and sociology. It seeks to develop an analysis of international dynamics and global issues from the perspective of the global South or the Third World. It endeavors to develop insights that are relevant to public policies and political strategies of the nations and social movements of the South.
Participants will have the option of participating in one of three pre-conference workshops to be held on November 12 and November 13. The workshops will be on the following themes:
- Political science from the South and Western political science: Complementary or alternative?
- Bioethics and its relation to philosophy.
- Methods of theory construction.
The workshop will be conducted by specialists with numerous publications on the themes. Books on related themes also will be available.
