GAM turns 14 in September, and to this end, the Linkage and Mediation area, in collaboration with the School of Sociology and the Social Transformations Laboratory of the Diego Portales University, will hold meetings to reflect and debate the history of UNCTAD III and its social relevance.
In alliance with the School of Sociology of the Diego Portales University and the Laboratory of Social Transformations, we will reflect on the historical memory of the building, built in 1972 to host the UNCTAD III Conference, and the role it played in global debates on the economic relations of the international system. The agreements left by this meeting will also be analyzed, where how to overcome poverty was discussed, in the midst of a changing world scenario.
