CALL FOR PAPERS US PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS AND THEIR IMPACT ON THE WORLD Sponsored by the Global Studies Association of North America and the Centre of Hemispheric Studies and United States at the University of Havana. Online Conference: November 15, 2024. The occasion of the US presidential elections offers a unique opportunity to explore how US policy affects the entire world. The US ruling class is deeply divided over whether to maintain a capitalist democracy, or install an authoritarian regime. These differences are starkly evident in the election with a sharp struggle over which party will hold power. The Republican Party still maintains the Democrats stole the last election, and Trump has threatened bloodshed if he loses again. The attempted assassination of Trump and then withdrawal of President Biden made the 2024 election an even more unique event. With the wars in Ukraine and Gaza, the trade war against China and its potential military escalation, an environmental crisis, and right-wing parties growing in influence worldwide the US elections will have a crucial impact. We may also go beyond the 2024 election and analyze it within the context of previous elections and from theoretical perspectives. Moreover, we may ask: What is the broader framework of the elections, particularly the dangers and problems of US hegemony in the world? What are the clashes between unipolar and multilateral efforts? How do globalists and nationalist's political currents clash? What are the interlinks and contradictions between deep transnational integration in finance, production and trade, and state-to-state competition? If the US is a declining hegemon, how is the ruling class response reflected in the election? And lastly, how should we respond, and what possibilities exist for progressive counteractions? These are the questions we want to pursue in our online workshop/conference, and in the special issue of Perspectives on Global Development and Technology. SUBMISSION DEADLINES: MAXIMUM LENGTH: 10,000 words, including abstracts, keywords, citations, footnotes, and references.
