This approach strives for excellence in bridging the gap between academic departments and rural communities by shifting the culture of the academy toward greater community engagement.

Market, Socialist, and Mixed Economies
Feministas e tecnocratas na democratização da América Latina
Os movimentos de mulheres muito contribuíram para pôr fim aos governos autoritários na América Latina, mas sua participação na reconstrução da política democrática tem sido mais limitada do que o esperado. Este artigo argumenta que a enorme influência exercida por elites tecnocráticas no processo de democratização na América Latina tem representado um obstáculo para a melhoria do status da mulher na região.

Economic policy elites and democratization
The Ubiquitous Rise of Economists

While their technical knowledge is an important reason for their influx into governments, their acquisition of the highest positions of authority, we contend, is to an important degree a ceremonial display. The symbolic aspect…
