The Centre for Latin American Studies CESLA, University of Warsaw and Human Rights Consortium, School of Advanced Study, University of London organise a symposium that examines the dilemmas of development in today's Latin America, marked by the pursuit of economic growth, technological improvement and reduction of poverty on the one hand, and growing concerns about the environment, natural resources preservation and human rights on the other. It will analyse socio-environmental conflicts, the infringement of human rights and responses of communities to the threats they face. It will also discuss the emergence of alternative development models and the very philosophy of development.
