TRANSCRIPT
Dates: 29-30 May 2018
Venue: Machicado Suite, Willoughby Hall
Organised by the Centre for the Study of Post-Conflict Societies
with the support of:
The notion of transitions to democracy in Latin America invites reflections on the political legacies of authoritarianism, the prospects of justice restorative or politically co-opted, post-conflict reconstruction and reconciliation, the ebb and flow of the so-called pink tide, manipulative populisms, and the re-encroaching of neoliberalism in the present period of radical transitions.
T h i s c o n f e r e n c e a i m s t o p r o m p t consideration and re-evaluation of those transitions, successful or otherwise, that have formed and often deformed Latin America as a notional entity.
