Energy Transitions and Political Crises in the Age of Trump: Latin America's "Pink Tide"

With an emphasis on Venezuela, Ecuador, and Bolivia, Donald Kingsbury (U of T) explores the political turbulence in the developing world as a result of the global north's call for a post-carbon capitalism. 

Dr. Kingsbury will discuss how economic crises, protests, and the reemergence of regional and domestic right wing politics pose new challenges for social missions and ecological promises of Latin America's Pink Tide.
