We celebrate Eva Renon's successful viva

We are delighted to announce the successful PhD examination of our student Eva Renon, with very minor corrections. The examiners praised the originality and ambition of the thesis, as well as the wealth of the data collected through 133 personal interviews of business leaders, lobbyists and government officials in Argentina, Brazil and Colombia. The thesis' framework provides has the potential to support further research on Sub-Saharan African countries. The thesis overall improves our understanding of the conflicts within the business community and how firms contribute to policymaking.

The title of Eva's thesis is 'Bringing the Firm Back in the Analysis: State-Business Relations in Latin America and their Impact on Policies’. Eva worked under the supervision of Dr Néstor Castañeda and Professor Paulo Drinot. Congratulations are in order!
