摘要：Graduate economic programmes in Latin America have evolved along the lines of two different traditions:one closely linked to the current economic mainstream (being in that sense ‘global’) and the other more localand heterodox. This paper provides an overview of perceptions, interests, concerns and opinions of globalLatin American graduate economic programmes, comparing them with similar programmes in Europe andthe US. It reports the findings of a survey of Latin American global economics programmes and discusses thedebate between global economics and traditional economics, arguing that there is a role for both, withglobal economics concentrating on the science of economics and traditional economics concentrating on theapplied policy ‘political economy’ branch of economics – which is much broader than the applied policytraining that graduate students get in global economics.
