What development? Dialogue between academia and politics

El CLACSO Working Group: What Development? Dialogue between Academia and Politics It is embedded in the thematic field: Economics and development policies.

This working group attempts to problematize the views on development held by different subjects, how they connect it with social justice, equality, sustainability, systemic crises, as well as to identify what conditions would foster a dialogue - if it were possible - between actors as diverse as governments, academia, social movements, non-governmental organizations, political parties, among others.

Their objectives focus on:

• To create interdisciplinary spaces for articulation for comparative social research between researchers - established and in training - on the visions of development that different subjects have and the possibilities of dialogue between them.
• To contribute to the academic training of young researchers in the region on the topics of public policy, facilitation, conflict mediation and dialogue between actors.
• To promote dialogue of knowledge, exchange and cooperation between researchers and those responsible for or managing public policies at the local, national and regional levels, to alliances and articulations for social and political influence, and to increase the proactive capacity of the social sciences.
• To contribute to the creation of dialogue platforms among social researchers, public policy managers, non-governmental organizations, trade unions, social movements, and other actors committed to responsible social transformation; as well as networks that discuss experiences, disseminate knowledge, and promote political advocacy.
