XIII ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF THE CARIBBEAN STUDIES ASSOCIATION
May 30th - June 2nd, 2005

More than 400 researchers and academics from prestigious institutions in the Western Hemisphere gathered in Santo Domingo from May 30th to June 4th for the XIII Annual Conference of the Caribbean Studies Association (CSA). The central theme of the event was “The Caribbean Cooperation in the Age of Information Society”

The Caribbean Studies Association (CSA) is an independent professional organization devoted to the promotion of Caribbean Studies from a multidisciplinary and multicultural point of view. The CSA - founded in 1974 by 300 Caribbean specialists - now has more than 1000 members from throughout the world. The Caribbean Studies Association is not dependent on any public or private institution.
FUNGLODE collaborated with the organization and development of the event. Some of the institutions represented at the gathering were: Rutgers University, The University of the West Indies, University of the Virgin Islands, St. Thomas, University of Albany, California State University, University of Minnesota, Metropolitan College of New York, Independent Scholar, Jamaica and University of Maryland.

The Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS) delivered the lecture “The Inter-American System”. This is the first visit that Mr. Jose Miguel Insulza, former Foreign Minister from Chile and recently elected Secretary General of the OAS, has taken as part of his new position. Also, the President of the Dominican Republic, Mr. Leonel Fernandez, delivered the inaugural speech on the first day of the Conference.

During the parallel sessions, experts discussed critical areas relevant to the Caribbean region. Some of the issues addressed were: “Economic Alternatives and their
Challenges for the Caribbean Region”; “The Global Environmental Policy and its Impact in the Caribbean Region”; “Cooperation and Sustainability in Education”; “Health in the Caribbean States”; “Ecological Network in the Urban Areas of the Caribbean”; and, “Comparative Perspectives of the Economy and Society of Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic”.

The collaboration of FUNGLODE in this important regional forum is part of the institution’s efforts to support the development of academic studies in critical areas not only relevant to the Dominican Republic, but also the whole Caribbean region. At the same time, through various seminars, events and conferences FUNGLODE and GFDD aim at heightening the level of discussion and dialogue in the Dominican Republic as well as the exchange between domestic and international experts.
