As global power structures undergo profound transformation, academic cooperation is called to play a more critical role in interpreting change, shaping responses, and advancing shared knowledge. Today’s shifting geopolitical and economic landscape challenges traditional models of development and governance, while also opening space for advancing new “state development impetus” as an analytical framework to better understand state trajectories and inform governance approaches, and for fostering new forms of collaboration rooted in sustainability, innovation, and mutual understanding.

We welcome theoretical and empirical papers that address at least one of the following streams:

1) Trade & Investment – supply‑chain realignments, bilateral FTAs, financial flows, SMEs.

2) Natural Resources, Critical Minerals & Energy Transition – governance, value‑addition, green technologies.

3) Digital Transformation & the New Economy – AI, fintech, cross‑border e‑commerce, cybersecurity norms.

4) Governance, Geopolitics & Financial Order

5) Culture, Identity & Cross‑Cultural Exchanges(special stream curated by PUCP's Centro de Estudios Orientales) – soft power, creative industries, migration, literature, film and the arts.
