Salo Vinocur Coslovsky
Assistant Professor of International Development

Salo Coslovsky's research bridges international development, legal sociology, and organizational behavior, and asks how developing countries can promote sustainable and equitable growth even when subjected to intense global competition. His dissertation examined how Brazilian prosecutors enforce labor and environmental laws so as to enhance business competitiveness. He has also studied how global buyers and private auditors influence labor practices in the sugar and ethanol supply chain. Coslovsky is additionally interested in forest-based industries in the Amazon, and was awarded MIT's Siegel Prize for Best Essay in Science, Technology and Society for research on this topic. His work has been funded by MIT's Department of Urban Studies, the Sloan School of Management, the Martin Society for Sustainability, and the World Bank. Coslovsky has also been advising 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 International Development, Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
