摘要:In the wake of new challenges such as income inequalities, populism, the rise of protectionism, climate change, the development of new technologies, demographic structure shifs and migration, the pandemic and its consequences countries and international organisations are looking for new solutions. The debates on prospective and post-liberal social and economic paradigms that would respond to these challenges have already begun worldwide. Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) are the regions of the world characterised by the biggest persistent disparities. Terefore the new conditions of development combined with still unsolved problems create both threats and opportunities for policy-makers and chances for academics to contribute to the debate.
