Environment and Development / Meio Ambiente e Desenvolvimento (multi-lingua)

The traditional approaches to development in academic or policy circles have not coped, by and large, with the transformation of the processes of development under the conditions of multidimensional globalization, technological change, multiculturalism, and ecological consciousness. In this public lecture Manuel Castells explores a reconceptualisation of development in the global information age.
