ALFA III, the final phase of the program, retains the original objective of the previous phases, that is, to promote higher education in Latin America as a way to contribute to the economic and social development of the region. Augmented Virtual Realities for Social Development In the ALFA-GAVIOTA project case, which this book owes its existence to, the areas that were selected to contribute to economic and social development were the Virtual and Augmented Reality. When trying to communicate the general feeling that the signer has on what the project has meant the project, what initially emerges is a great perplexity due to the cluster of sensations that a project of this nature causes. However, such an explosion of sensations should be regulated by trying to reach a few ideas to explain or at least summarize this ALFA es un programa de cooperación entre instituciones de educación superior de la Unión Europea y América Latina. ALFA III, la última fase del programa conserva el objetivo original de las fases anteriores, es decir, promover la edu- cación superior en América Latina como medio para contribuir al desarrollo económico y social de la región. En el caso del proyecto ALFA-GAVIOTA (Grupos Acadé- micos para la Visualización Orientada por Tecnologías Apropiadas), al que este Realidades virtuales aumentadas para el desarrollo social Realidades el desarrollo aumentadas para virtuales libro debe su existencia, las áreas que se seleccionaron para contribuir al desarro- llo económico y social fueron las de realidad virtual y aumentada. Al intentar transmitir de manera general la sensación que este firmante tiene sobre lo que ha significado dicho proyecto, lo que emerge inicialmente es una gran perplejidad producto del cúmulo de sensaciones que un proyecto de esta índole provoca. Sin embargo, hay que modular tal explosión 8 initial perception. The reader will find them at the end of this Prologue, but in order to reach them we will gradually advance. Let me start by saying that the people involved have formed a set of interlocked parts that have interacted with each other. But its main feature seen from the General Systems Theory is that it has not set a complicated system, but more a rich and interesting one. ALFA-GAVIOTA Project has managed to become a complex system. The difference between complicated and complex sys- tems is that, the functioning of the first can be understood by knowing how each party works, to understand the second it is also necessary to know how the parts relate to each other. Because in the interactions between the par- ties new properties emerge that can not be explained by the properties of the individual elements. Now, having reached that complex status also entails

  • Contrasting Paths to Internationalization of Southern Cone Political Scientists
    Politólogos on the Run: Contrasting Paths to Internationalization of Southern Cone Political Scientists Flavia Freidenberg Andrés Malamud ABSTRACT Political scientists from the Southern Cone have enriched the discipline with pio- neering work. Many of them went into exile for political reasons, and thus pro- duced part of their work abroad. Although Latin American political science has professionalized since the 1980s, many scholars still emigrate for study and employment. Argentines most numerously seek academic careers abroad, while Brazil has many more domestic doctorates and returns home after doctoral stud- ies abroad. Uruguayans emigrate in proportionally high numbers and tend to settle in Latin American countries, while the number of Chileans and Paraguayans abroad is minimal. These contrasting patterns are explained by reference to fac- tors such as the availability of high-quality doctoral courses, financing for post- graduate studies, and the absorptive capacity of national academic markets. Para- doxically, the size and performance of the diasporas may increase rather than reduce the visibility and impact of national political science communities. THE PUZZLE n August 8, 2008, the Latin American Association of Political Science met in O San José, Costa Rica, and renewed its Executive Council. Five Argentines, three Brazilians, and two Uruguayans were elected to the 24-member body. Remarkably, four of the Argentines and one Uruguayan lived abroad, while all the Brazilians resided in their home country. Something similar had happened in Hamburg in May of that year, at the launching of the project to found the Jour- nal of Politics in Latin America: while the five Argentines and the only Uruguayan participant lived abroad, all the Brazilians were living in Brazil.

  • CSM – Social Movements Simulation: the Argentine Tax Controversey
    Social Movement Dynamics and The Argentine Tax Controversy Written and Directed by: Amy Hill, Jen Vail, and Leif Johnson 4/16/09 What does it mean to be a part of social movement? How are strategic decisions made and a course of action decided upon? What constraints do the government, media and society put on social movements? This simulation will help answer those questions by allowing participants to experientially investigate what it means to be a part of a social movement. Using the Argentine farm tax controversy as a situational case study, this simulation more specifically focuses on social movement-government relations and the standstills, fights and negotiations that often arise. Actual Format: Announcement of the Decree and Participant Introductions It is March 11, 2008 and recently elected Argentine President Cristina Kirchner is on the verge of announcing her first major governmental decree- the unofficially titled Farm Export Tax. This tax will act as a sliding scale export tax, increasing taxes on soybeans and other farm products by approximately 10 percent. While President Kirchner has not yet articulated the details of this decree, this initial meeting provides her with the opportunity to do this, as well as hear the initial reactions of other government officials and powerful social movement leaders. Participants in this meeting will be expected to come prepared to give a one- minute introduction of themselves. This introduction should include your current stance on the farming tax as proposed by President Kirchner. (Total time: 15 minutes) Strategic Planning Sessions It is March 12, 2008. The day after President Kirchner announced her new farm exportation tax and as was made clear in yesterday’s announcement, not everyone is on board.
