Dr George Meszaros (University of Warwick) gives a talk for the Latin American Centre seminar series.
On 24th January 2014, Dr George Meszaros (University of Warwick) discussed his recently published book "Social Movements, Law and the Politics of Land Reform: Lessons from Brazil." The book investigates how rural social movements are struggling for land reform against the background of ambitious but unfulfilled constitutional promises. Taking Brazil as an example, the book unpicks the complex reasons behind the remarkably consistent failures of the constitution and law enforcement mechanisms to deliver social justice.
