Alberto Trejos Talk - Why Is Development So Elusive to Latin American Countries? Should Development Mean Something Different in Latin America than in the Rest of the World?
January 14, 2016 - 4:00 PM ET
The purpose of this talk is to consider not only the challenges -- economic, political, social, and even environmental -- in the path ahead for Latin America and its member nations, but also to ponder on the reasons for its resilience in pursuing some very idiosyncratic policies. Does development await any nations in the region any time soon? Should the term “development” mean different things in the region and elsewhere? What may be the key “gordian knots” that we must unite if we want to see a prosperous, egalitarian, democratic, and sustainable Latin America?
Alberto Trejos is professor and Dean at INCAE (Central American Institute of Business Administration) Business School.
