Political+Scientific
The Policies + Science collection, which CLACSO is launching with these two books, seeks to highlight the contributions of women in the development of science policies and in academia in Latin America and the Caribbean, to emphasize the link between science, technology and innovation.
Opening Science Towards a Shared Future invites us to reflect on the need for open, inclusive science oriented towards the common good. Through a lucid exploration of international scientific history, politics, and practice, the author exposes the tensions between cooperation and competition, and between open access and the privatization of knowledge.
The construction of research policies in Latin American universities offers a unique answer to the question of how a university research policy is sustained for more than thirty years, based on the experience of the University of the Republic of Uruguay. Through five thematic sections, its authors—faculty members directly involved in the implementation of these policies—analyze key concepts, tensions, and lessons learned.
