The Institute for Cultural Diplomacy is pleased to announce that applications are still being accepted for the Berlin International Economics Congress 2011 and for the next Cultural Diplomacy in the Global Economy Young Leaders Forum.

The Berlin International Economics Congress 2011 is an International Conference on the Future of Global Politics, Nation Branding, Sustainable Tourism and International Investment in a Globalized World. The conference is open to young professionals, students and scholars, civil society practitioners, private sector representatives, journalists, other stakeholders from across the world.

All seminar participants will be awarded an official certificate of attendance upon completion of the program, signed by two members of the ICD's Advisory Board. Sustainable Network Conference participants will become part of a growing international network of people from across the world with different fields of interest and levels of experience.


At the same time the institute helds:

The Rise of Africa
"Africa and the Global Economy: The Future of Nation Branding, Sustainable Tourism and International Investment on the African Continent"
(Berlin, March 9th - 12th, 2011, *in conjunction with the Berlin International Economics Congress 2011)

As the world slowly recovers from the global financial crisis, international economists and politicians are looking once again to the future. Whilst the emergence of new economic powerhouses in Asia and Latin America is widely agreed upon, however, the influence of the African continent on the global political economy remains unclear. The year 2011 therefore represents an important opportunity to consider this role, and to examine strategies that will strengthen development and foster growth within Africa.


And Nuestra America
"Latin America and the Global Economy: The Future of Nation Branding, Sustainable Tourism and International Investment in Latin America"
(Berlin, March 9th - 12th, 2011, *in conjunction with the Berlin International Economics Congress 2011)

The years 2009-2011 mark the two hundred year anniversaries of the beginning of many Latin American Independence movements. It was two centuries ago that Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Chile, Bolivia, Ecuador, Paraguay and Venezuela declared their independence. The years 1809-1811 therefore represent an important turning point in the history of Latin America, resulting in the emergence of new nation states and constituting the first step in the process of breaking from European colonial rule. The nature of this process remains an important talking point today.
