Cuban,
U.S. social scientists meet in Havana
The 19th
Conference for Cuban-U.S. Philosophers and
Social Scientists opened Tuesday at the
University of Havana.
The meeting, scheduled to run through Friday,
drew together intellectuals and academics from
the United States, Canada and Cuba to discuss
public policy, the construction of a new state,
neo-liberal globalization and the problems
facing the so-called third world, as well as the
analysis of socialism and the resistance to
capitalism.
It will also cover tourism in Cuba, the
influence of globalization, and the impact on
social values caused by the avalanche of
fashion, music and cultural products from the
world's multinationals.
In the opening session, social scientists
discussed the nation-state in capitalist
countries and in Cuba, and the challenges
confronting social projects in Venezuela, and
other Latin American and Caribbean nations.
There was also a theoretical debate about
religion, culture, feminism, and education.
