ISA Diplomatic Studies award for PAIS scholar
Professor Tom Long鈥檚 award-winning article, co-authored with Carsten-Andreas Schulz, examines Latin American reactions to the 1884–85 Berlin Conference, best known for its role in the 鈥渟cramble for Africa鈥. Focusing on diplomats from Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Mexico, the article shows how the conference shaped Latin American understandings of imperialism and their own position in the international order. It highlights the global repercussions of late nineteenth-century imperialism and reassesses Latin American anti-imperialism.
