Policy Analysis in Colombia
Leading Colombian academics and experienced policy practitioners cast new light on their country in this systematic overview of policy analysis for an international audience.

Contributors also delve into Colombia’s notable success in economic regeneration, the management of cultural diversity and the resolution of long-term internal armed conflict. Not just an important summation of policy analysis in Colombia, this book also provides insights and lessons applicable elsewhere.
El oficio en movimiento
Este libro reúne textos gestados en el ámbito del Seminario Permanente de Investigación del grupo Sociedad, Historia y Cultura del CIDSE (Universidad del Valle) que, quincenalmente, reúne a los docentes con los estudiantes del Doctorado en Sociología adscritos al grupo. El objetivo es poner en consideración de los lectores algunas reflexiones de orden teórico y metodológico alimentadas por experiencias de investigación, mostrar las vicisitudes de la práctica de la pesquisa social y compartir formas de hacer que han estado por detrás de algunos estudios. La compilación se constituye en una muestra de la pluralidad metodológica que caracteriza hoy a las ciencias sociales. Pero no ...
El telón oculto de la estandarización
Trata de las organizaciones que incursionan en mercados de exigencia, en los que es común encontrar estándares convertidos en normas que se conocen como certificaciones emitidas por organismos acreditados. Sin embargo, ¿qué hace que con frecuencia las organizaciones opten por formalizar estándares exigidos, sin que los contratos comprometidos se sostengan en el tiempo? El problema resulta de la reflexión sobre lo que los actores estratégicos (aquellos que dirigen el rumbo organizacional) orientan en las organizaciones que han establecido un estándar que se ofrece bajo la promesa de ser la vía hacia la competitividad, para el bien de la sociedad. En el contexto colombiano una gran pr...

Of Love and Papers
A free open access ebook is available upon publication. Learn more at www.luminosoa.org. Of Love and Papers explores how immigration policies are fundamentally reshaping Latino families. Drawing on two waves of interviews with undocumented young adults, Enriquez investigates how immigration status creeps into the most personal aspects of everyday life, intersecting with gender to constrain family formation. The imprint of illegality remains, even upon obtaining DACA or permanent residency. Interweaving the perspectives of US citizen romantic partners and children, Enriquez illustrates the multigenerational punishment that limits the upward mobility of Latino families. Of Love and Papers sparks an intimate understanding of contemporary US immigration policies and their enduring consequences for immigrant families.

Women in Breast Cancer: 2022, volume II
We are delighted to present the Frontiers in Oncology "Women in Breast Cancer” Volume II series of article collections. At present, less than 30% of researchers worldwide are women. Long-standing biases and gender stereotypes are discouraging girls and women away from science-related fields, and STEM research in particular. Science and gender equality are, however, essential to ensure sustainable development as highlighted by UNESCO. In order to change traditional mindsets, gender equality must be promoted, stereotypes defeated, and girls and women should be encouraged to pursue STEM careers.
