Fundamentals of the Program

Presentation

This program helps to train professionals with knowledge in historical, social and economic aspects of China and Latin America. At the end of the seventies of the twentieth century, the beginning of the modernization process of the People’s Republic of China caused a sustained growth of its gross domestic product and a decisive influence on trade, investment, technological innovation and the mechanisms of Global financing.
