PREFACE
The publication of this book was inspired by a pilot project called SinoLatin America Lecture Series, initiated by Professor Cui Shoujun and a team of Latin American graduate students at the School of International Studies of Renmin University of China (SIS-RUC) during the Fall term of 2013, and later jointly supported by Professor Manuel Pérez García during the Spring term of 2014. The objective of this pilot project was to encourage faculty and students to direct their attention to the study and understanding of the remarkable importance Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) has in China’s foreign policy agenda, by inviting experts in the field of Sino-Latin American relations. After few months, the main idea evolved into a new project, which was aimed at establishing an interdisciplinary Center for Latin America Studies at Renmin University of China. Beijing, China
