Research subject Development Studies in Latin America

The research area addresses the central elements of different generations of development thought and their political implications in Latin America, from modernization theory and the dependency school, to sustainable development and more critical thoughts on development expressed in, for example, deep ecology and indigenous rooted notions such as Good Life (Buen Vivir/Vivir Bien). A central discussion centers on Latin America’s position as exporter of primary products within the international division of labor.
