CLAS: Back to the Future

The Berkeley Review of Latin American Studies is a central venue for scholars, policy-makers, and entrepreneurs to address critical issues affecting Latin America and the world. Key articles below on climate equity, renewable energy, and social justice illustrate the impact of the Center's contribution. They resonate today more than ever. One might say we are going back to the future.

The article below highlights Stan Ovshinsky's lecture "Alternative Energy and the Americas" from Spring 2008.
