The organizers of the 2016 Conference of ALCADECA are pleased to announce the
call for papers for its 6th biennial meeting, to be held in Montevideo, Uruguay, on June
1-3, 2016. These meetings bring together researchers from different disciplines and
fields interested in human development, the capabilities approach and other approaches
to normative and development issues, with particular focus in Latin America. Previous
conferences have taken place in Mexico (2006), Montevideo (2008), Porto Alegre
(2010), Buenos Aires (2012) and Lima (2014).
The rapid economic growth recently experienced in most Latin American countries has
generated a significant increase in household income that has not necessarily been
translated into proportionate achievements in terms of human development and
freedoms. Social interactions can promote different life styles and, specifically,
consumption patterns, that might strengthen or erode functionings and capabilities, both
in terms of individuals and of social justice perspective. For instance, conspicuous,
emulative or positional consumption might result in high indebtedness in the case of
some households, leisure time reductions in other cases, or changes in preferences for
redistribution, among individuals struggling to achieve certain standards promoted by
the media or through peer groups. Institutions, markets and public policies can foster,
mitigate or redirect these behaviours. Specifically, we are interested in discussing
around questions such as: To which extent these phenomena are observerd in Latin
America? If so: Do they foster or weaken achievements in terms of agency or
capabilities?; Should institutions and public policies promote certain life styles or would
that be an unacceptable form of paternalism?; Which policies and institutional designs
need to be implemented in order to avoid the (potentially) deletereous effect of these
behaviours? The conference aims at estimulating academic interchange on these topics.
The hosts of the 2016 HDCA Conference cordially welcome submissions of papers and
thematic panel sessions. In addition to proposals on the conference theme, papers on
topics related to normative issues, human development, inequalities and poverty are
welcome.
The
deadline
for
submissions
is
March
10,
2016.
More information about the conference will be available on the conference webpage:
www.iecon.ccee.edu.uy. Questions can be addressed to the conference organizers at:
alcadeca2016@iecon.ccee.edu.uy
Paper Submission
a) Individual academic papers. An abstract of up to 500 words in English, Spanish
or Portuguese must be submitted for consideration for presentation at the
meeting. The cover page should include the title of the paper, institutional
affiliation, including address, phone and email of each author and an abstract
with 3-5 keywords.
b) Proposals for thematic panel sessions should be proposed as such, under a
single theme. The sessions will be 90 minutes long, and so will accommodate 3
or 4 component papers. Each panel should have a coordinator who submits an
abstract for the panel of up to 500 words in English, Spanish or Portuguese
with 3-5 keywords. In addition, an abstract of similar characteristics should
accompany each of the component papers of the proposed panel.
Important Dates
Deadline for abstract and thematic panel proposals submission: March 10, 2016
Notification of acceptance: March 31, 2016
Deadline for full papers submission: May 10, 2016
