Biography
Wagner Graduate School of Public Service
Salo Coslovsky''s research analyzes how governments in developing countries build legal authority and use it to influence routine business practices. He is particularly interested in the enforcement of labor, environmental, food safety, and similar regulations that protect vulnerable groups from abuse. This is a topic of much contemporary concern as it addresses the twin challenge of how markets can simultaneously be more vibrant and more humane. This topic is also forward looking, as it examines how governments can promote development even when they are restricted by international treaties, relatively free trade, and the need to attract transnational capital flows.
Professor Coslovsky conducts most of his research in Brazil, and has studied numerous industries, including the production of pig-iron, sugar and ethanol, brazil-nuts, farmed shrimps, and more. In addition to his academic work, Coslovsky has advised Brazilian think-tanks and government agencies, including the Ministry of Environment, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the Forest Service on matters of policy design and implementation.
He received an M.A. in Law and Diplomacy, Tufts University; Ph.D. in Urban Studies and Planning, Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
