L A T A U T O N O M YWelcome to Latautonomy, which is an acronym for "Multicultural Autonomies in Latin America". It was in 2001, when the EU-funded project LATAUTONOMY started out with the intent to establish new social parameters for a convival civil society through a research of the basic structures of the ongoing autonomy-processes in the indigenous societies of Latin America. The research itself was performed within the framework of a close, dynamic, intercultural collaborative effort of six scientific institutions in Latin America, another six scientific institutions in five member-states of the European Union and finally two research institutions in the Russian Federation.
However, the research implied both: a systematic learning - throughout approximately two and a half years of field research
- from indigenous cultures
in six different areas of Latin America
and an effort
to give scientifically grounded recommendations for a policy aimed to a
sustainable development and the democratisation of the social environment. In a second step, the research was expanded to
Chechnya and the Northern Caucasus (Russian Federation) and to Catalunya (Spain, Europe).
The project stated an example for an interdisciplinary and
multicultural research process applicable also in Europe. |
