Facultad de Derecho, Universidad de Los Andes, Bogotá, Colombia

The European Law Research Center at Harvard Law School and Los Andes University are delighted to announce a two day workshop on law and development to be held in the Faculty of Law, Universidad de Los Andes, Bogotá, Colombia on August 21 and 22, 2008. The workshop will be part of the 40th anniversary celebration of Los Andes Law School as well as the launching of the Doctorate in Law at the same institution.
The conference will be divided into five themes: Identity, Development and the Nation State; Distribution and Development; Constitutionalization of Development; Globalization, the Role of the State and Development; Post Dependency and Development. We are still in the process of identifying participants who might be interested in this event. If you have suggestions as to whom we might include, please let us know! We would appreciate it if you could indicate your availability to participate as a panelist by responding to halviar@uniandes.edu.co by March 14 2008 with a one paragraph paper abstract. The preliminary program will be circulated in the beginning of May 2008.
We expect to have some funds to help cover travel expenses for those who are not able to fund their participation from their home institutions. Please let us know by March 14, 2008 if you anticipate needing support. We look forward to seeing you in Bogotá next August.
Sincerely,
Helena Alviar
