The workshop “Critical Approaches to Development” was held in the spirit of inviting academic staff both internal and external to IRI and PUC-Rio to reflect on alternatives to the more conventional understanding of development such as economic growth, more importantly, alternatives under construction in the South Global. The workshop was held at the BRICS Research and Study Center, on November 29 and 30, 2018. The main objectives were to discuss knowledge in the Global South and the Global South about these critical approaches, to know new alternatives being proposed and to discuss the implications of these visions at the present moment of international politics, mainly in face of the UN 2030 Agenda and the growing search for a role of the South in the field of development. For this reason, the workshop also included the participation of academic guests, but also professionals from the field, in addition to inviting work submissions by students and post-graduate teachers external to IRI.
