Scholarship Description:
The
prize reflects the Brazilian government’s strong support for TWAS and,
more generally, for helping to build scientific capacity in the
developing world. Such support has been reflected in the efforts of the
former Presidents of Brazil Fernando Henrique Cardoso (TWAS Fellow 1984)
and Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, and the former Ministers of Science and
Technology José Israel Vargas (TWAS Fellow 1988) and Sergio Rezende
(TWAS Fellow 2004). President Cardoso and Minister Vargas played central
roles in the creation of the TWAS-Celso Furtado Prize in Social
Sciences.” The TWAS-Celso Furtado Prize is named after the renowned
Brazilian economist, Celso Monteiro Furtado (1920-2004). Furtado’s
research focused on the plight of the poor in Brazil and throughout
South America. He emphasized the importance of devising economic
development policies that focused on building a strong industrial base
for what he often referred to as ‘peripheral economies’. He also foresaw
the rise of a globalized world, which he said would be spurred by ‘the
spread of the world economy’, and he urged developing countries to take
steps to ensure that they would not be marginalized in the face of these
trends.
