Friday, 26th April 2024, from 12:00 to 13:15 h. CEST (UTC+2). Venue: Asociación de la Prensa de Madrid (c/ Claudio Coello 98, Madrid).
Efforts by policymakers, practitioners and academics dedicated towards ‘development’ imply inevitable underlying assumptions concerning what desirable and attainable development constitutes, which determines the corresponding decisions and actions taken. Indeed, different conceptualisations –or schools of thought– of development can coexist, overlap, or even compete with each other to different extents, which in turn can have an impact on policymaking.
The goal of this public panel is to explore this nexus between the academic activity within the scholarly field of Development Studies, in this case in Europe, and its engagement with policy processes and decision-making.
