*Environmental Conflicts and the Public Debate on Development in Argentina
and Latin America
<https://environmental-conflicts-and-development.eventbrite.co.uk/>*
*20/07/2017 at 6.00pm-7.30pm*
*Room G34, Ground Floor, Senate House, Malet Street, *
*London, WC1E 7HU*
The *Institute of Latin American Studies*, the *Argentina Research Network*
and the *Argentina Solidarity Campaign* are delighted to announce a
talk by *Gabriela
Merlinsky* (CONICET; *Instituto de Investigaciones Gino Germani*,
University of Buenos Aires) exploring the intersections between
environmental conflicts and debates on development in Argentina and Latin
America.
In Argentina and other Latin Americans countries, environmental conflicts
bring about debates regarding productive models and their long-term social
and environmental consequences. Considering the growing relevance of these
matters in public debates, this talk will examine how environmental
conflicts generate turning points in the construction of development
narratives.
The talk will address a series of important questions regarding
environmental conflicts and development in Argentina and Latin America:
What are the most long-lasting consequences of these conflicts in terms of
the inscription of environmental issues in public debate? How do these new
social and political ways of constructing the environmental question enable
the elaboration of different models of contesting and/or justifying social
inequalities? How does collective action contribute to a redefinition of
common good and common goods?
Drawing on over ten years of research in the field, these questions will be
explored through a number of case studies that look at how environmental
conflicts generate turning points in each community or region’s lines of
historical development, and bring about debates regarding productive models
and their impacts on the present and future equality of societies.
