Program Agenda

Nuestra America
"Latin America and the Global Economy: The Future of Nation Branding, Tourism
and International Investment in Latin America"
(Berlin, March 9th - 12th, 2011, Held Parallel to the ITB Berlin)
www.icd-cdla.org

The years 2009-2011 mark the two hundred year anniversaries of the beginning of
many Latin American Independence movements. It was two centuries ago that
Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Chile, Bolivia, Ecuador, Paraguay and Venezuela
declared their independence. The years 1809-1811 therefore represent an
important turning point in the history of Latin America, resulting in the
emergence of new nation states and constituting the first step in the process of
breaking from European colonial rule. The nature of this process remains an
important talking point today.

As Latin American and the world celebrate these anniversaries, important
questions remain as to how individual countries and the region as a whole should
address challenges in the areas of poverty, development, security, public
health, and national and international politics. Furthermore, current relations
between Latin America, the USA and Europe, and the role that other regions and
international stakeholders can play in supporting Latin America, remain
fundamental issues to be clarified.

In ensuring stable economic and societal development, Latin American countries
will rely heavily on their international images. A strong national brand will
encourage tourism, investment, the immigration and retention of intellectual
elites, and will enable a country to play more influential role in regional and
global politics. Understanding and strengthening how their nation's brand is
understand, and can be shaped, is therefore one of the most important challenges
facing governments, private companies, and civil societies in the region and
abroad.

To enable academic analysis of the subject, and provide a platform for
discussion on related fields, the ICD will host "Nuestra America" to explore the
concept of nation branding and how Latin American governments, companies, and
other stakeholders can engage with it.

Certificate of Attendance
All conference participants will be awarded an official certificate of
attendance upon completion of the program, which will provide details of the
speakers who took part and the topics discussed. Each certificate will be signed
by two members of the ICD's Advisory Board. (The ICD Advisory Board list can be
found here).

Speakers
The speakers during the program will consist of experts and stakeholders in the
Latin American Region from the fields of international politics, diplomacy,
academia, the private sector, and civil society, from Latin America and across
the world.

Participants
The conference is open to young professionals, students and scholars, diplomatic
and political representatives, journalists, and civil society practitioners with
an active interest in Latin America, from across the world.

The e-NASS is essentially generalist to revive renaissance wo/men with global and historical perspectives covering from the mist-shrouded steppes of Asia to the sun-drenched African, American and European shores without neglecting the exotic Oceania. In order to protect its subscribers vis-�-vis the virus-spreading, hoax and spam e-mails, the e-NASS is strictly moderated while e-mails containing attachments are automatically removed. This e-network discourages commercial advertisements as well as it is essentially irrelevant to any form of activism or advocacy of any particular perspective. Thus, messages of discussions, demonstrations and calls to action are not permitted. When forwarding e-NASS announcements to your friends and other e-groups, signifying e-NASS as the source will be highly appreciated as extent of your courtesy.
