Course materials and topic blocks<\/h3>\n
Translated from Spanish and enriched with additional background information, the course materials offer the opportunity to get to know a Latin American perspective on the free trade agenda and the associated trade agreements of the last 25-30 years.<\/p>\n
What impact did these have on working conditions and social human rights such as access to drinking water, energy and food in Latin America? What did the agreements mean for food security and industrial capacity building? What conclusions do organizations from Latin America draw after more than 25 years and could it be different from their point of view?
