The Platform for Dialogue "Cold War and coups d'état in Latin America (70 years after the coup d'état in Bolivia 1952)" will offer a space to present and discuss individual experiences, academic analyses, political positions, literary and artistic representations of the discussion on coups d'état in Latin America during the period 1947-1990. We are interested in their applications, their collateral effects, the economic and social thinking that motivated them, as well as their impacts and their effects on the present. The objective is also to contribute to a history of the concept of "coup d'état", its uses and abuses and its interrelations with political, social and military history.

The Platform for Dialogue will be held on November 8th and 9th, 2022 at the Center for Historical Research of Central America (CIHAC) at the University of Costa Rica. Access is free of charge.
