Celebrating the 70th anniversary of the ECLAC Commission and the 19th Summer School on Latin American economies, academics and experts participated on August 27-28 in the event organized in Santiago, Chile with the support of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). The objective of the EU-led initiatives is to promote sustainable development in Latin America and the Caribbean. Alberto Pirni gave his lecture on Development as intergenerational Justice: Lines for a possible joint path, focusing on the design and implementation of public policies to fulfil the sustainable development goals. Challenges are linked to inequalities, regional disparities, domestic resource mobilisation, weak social frameworks, as well as weak innovation capacities and diversification.
At the 19th Summer School for the Latin Economies (classes will be held until September 28, 2018) Alberto Pirni will discuss Plato, Aristotle, Bentham, Mill, Hume and Rawls’ “Theories of Justice”, proposing debate topics about classical philosophers’ ideas of individual liberty as the first principle in the establishment of a just society.
