This commentary is about new approaches, proposed by three scholars from East Asia, to address the globalization of Latin American Studies through networked-research and academic cooperation. Based on the institutionalization in the twenty-first century of Latin American Studies in East Asia and of Asian Studies in Latin America, there is a need to promote joint-research projects among academics on both sides of the Pacific with emphasis not only on economic and international relations but on broader studies that highlight the increasingly relevant global role of East Asia and Latin America. Initiatives like the East Asian Network of Latin American Studies and the Pacific Studies Research Center of the University of Guadalajara, which is presented here, can be exemplars of platforms to achieve such goals.
