Katya Pérez Guzmán

Since she was a child, Katya has loved Nature and yearned for a society whose political and economic dynamics are fully integrated into the wonderful biosphere that surrounds us. This clear orientation of her professional life has led to her DPhil effort, which aims to study the implications of the political economy of oil in a country´s carbon dioxide emissions, focusing on Latin America. As a recognised student at Oxford´s Latin American Centre, she achieved two objectives: to enrich her research with the Centre´s long tradition of studies in the area, specifically on the region´s historic political economy of development; and to take advantage of Oxford´s concentration of excellence in other topics such as energy policy and climate change.
