Academic Journals

EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF LATIN AMERICAN STUDIES

This bilingual journal was initiated by the Institute of Latin American Studies in the DIREI-NUPSPA and appeared out of the wish to disseminate the results of academic and research work conducted within the Institute, but also due to the need of Romanian and even European specialists to publish on topics related to biregional relations between Europe and Latin America, European visions on the Latin American space or other subjects concerning regional issues. At the time, when this academic journal appeared in Romania, there had been no such initiative dedicated exclusively to the Latin American and the Caribbean region. The journal is open to contributions from various theoretical approaches and shows no preference for any theoretical, methodological or epistemic approach.
