The impact of CLIL implementation on elementary EFL learners
Determining teachers' perceptions of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) in elementary classrooms is crucial for enhancing its effectiveness, overcoming practical challenges, and ensuring sustainable integration in diverse educational settings. Therefore, this literature review aims to analyze and synthesize the existing literature regarding CLIL usage by EFL teachers at the elementary level in Spain, Indonesia, Croatia, the Republic …
The public health challenges of female migration
Our findings highlight the escalating demand for and limited access to healthcare services among Venezuelan WRA in their destinations. Unmet healthcare needs are particularly prevalent among younger women by 2022, underscoring the urgency for health system to incorporate gender-responsive, equitable interventions and ensuring health rights for high-risk migrant groups such as infants, children, adolescents, and younger women. Addressing these cha…
Spatial Differences in the Latin American Health Transition
During the last century, Latin American countries experienced a rapid decrease in mortality rates and a shift in cause-of-death structure, marked by significant reductions in infectious and parasitic diseases. These mortality changes initially manifested in urban areas and progressed more rapidly in countries with higher levels of urbanization. At the end of the century, mortality decline slowed, and the increase in life expectancy showed signs o…
The Urban Bias in Latin American Avoidable Mortality
In 1977, Michael Lipton introduced the Urban Bias Thesis as a framework for understanding how most economic policy initiatives have contributed to the overdevelopment of urban areas and the underdevelopment of rural areas. In Latin America, there has historically been a positive correlation between urbanization and mortality decline, as the region's health transition generally began in the main cities and tended to proceed more rapidly in countri…
Weaving a rhizomatic pluriverse
Drawing on experiences from Abya Yala/Latin America, and based on the Andean philosophy and praxes of Allin kawsay, this article proposes and introduces the idea of a 'rhizomatic pluriverse' as a horizontal structure of dialogue(s) between multiple and diverse pluriversal alternatives. The article draws on the experiences of the Global Tapestry of Alternatives and the Crianza Mutua Networks as points of reference to argue for the possibility of b…
Impacto directo e indirecto del Covid-19 en la esperanza de vida al nacer de Chile en el año 2020
El artículo muestra el impacto directo e indirecto del COVID-19 en la esperanza de vida de Chile durante el año 2020, utilizando las estadísticas de defunciones definitivas publicadas en marzo del año 2023. Para ello, se estimó una mortalidad contrafactual para año 2020 sin el COVID-19, siguiendo el patrón de mortalidad según causas de muerte desde 1997 a 2019, se elaboraron tablas de mortalidad para calcular la esperanza de vida para los años 20…
Pluriversal Autonomies Beyond Development
This article employs Critical Development Studies to analyze the international political economy of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and address how the main elements that sustain and characterize it turn it into "another brick in the wall" of the hegemonic development paradigm (neoliberal, neo-developmentalist, neocolonial, privatized, inequitable, and environmentally predatory). It further analyzes how this 2030 Agenda contributed to…
The Demography of Crisis-Driven Outflows from Venezuela
The Venezuelan exodus represents the largest known displacement of people in recent Latin American history. The regional crisis caused by this mass Venezuelan migration drove the development of multiple interagency initiatives (such as the R4V platform) as well as academic attempts to keep track of outflow intensity. However, little is known about the age and gender composition of the emigrants since most existing literature to date has focused p…
Decolonizing education in Latin America
Following an argument that the 2030 Agenda consolidates a neoliberal hegemonic ‘development’ system, we analyze how SDG4 deepens an instrumental and utilitarian ‘education for sustainable development’. Alternatively, the Epistemologies of the South are presented as ways of knowing that are capable of accommodating a critical environmental and intercultural education (CEIE). Under a qualitative methodology, two extensive ethnographic studies were …
A binational analysis of infant mortality among crisis-driven diasporas and those who remain
OBJECTIVE: To assess the health cost (or benefit) of crisis-driven migration by focusing on the infant mortality rate (IMR) of the Colombian diaspora in Venezuela and the Venezuelan diaspora in Colombia. METHODS: We compare national to diaspora IMRs over the period 1980-2018. National IMRs are death-to-birth ratios reported by the official vital statistics, whereas diaspora IMRs are calculated by using a semiparametric regression model on the sum…
The fantasmatic narrative of ‘sustainable development’. A political analysis of the 2030 Global Development Agenda
The article offers a critical analysis of the United Nations 2030 Global Development Agenda, whose stated aim is to "transform the world" in such a way that no one is left behind. Drawing on post-Marxist theory, we argue that the 2030 Global Development Agenda is a fantasmatic narrative seeking to conceal the conflictual causes and the antagonistic origins of global development and sustainability issues. Within this fantasmatic narrative, ‘sustai…
Différences de mortalité par Covid-19
L'urgence que représente la compréhension de la pandémie de Covid-19 a entraîné des différences considérables entre les procédures de collecte des données des pays concernés, qui s'efforcent tous de produire des informations en temps réel mais qui restent des statistiques de mortalité imparfaites. Pour remédier à ce problème, l'analyse porte sur les décomptes de décès par Covid-19 provenant de la base de données « La démographie des décès par Cov…
Urban-rural differentials in Latin American infant mortality
Infant mortality in Latin America has declined dramatically over the past six decades. The health transition in the region began in the main cities and has tended to proceed more rapidly in countries with higher levels of urbanization. Although urbanâ rural
The Post-Keynesian view on labour demand in micro- and macroeconomic fields
The aim of this paper is to present the main ideas that could form the core of the Post-Keynesian approach to the analysis of labour demand at both micro-and macroeconomic levels. Specifically, this paper first reviews the essential elements characterising the Post-Keynesian approach to microeconomic analysis of labour demand. To do this, the "traditional view" is first presented, associated with the concept of the firm characterised by the prese…
Philanthrocapitalism as a Neoliberal (Development Agenda) artefact
Based on a critical analysis of the structurally neoliberal financing for development (FfD) system established by the Addis Ababa Action Agenda, this article contributes to the literature that views the 2030 Agenda as a new phase of the Neoliberal Development Agenda (NDA), which has been consolidated as hegemonic within the international development (ID) field in recent decades. Additionally, considering philanthrocapitalism as an ideological fra…
Financialization, Institutional Reform, and Structural Change in the Bolivian Boom (2006-2014)
Since nationalizing its hydrocarbon industry, Bolivia has articulated an ambitious strategy to promote structural change in its economy. Despite positive trends in macroeconomic indicators, the increase in fiscal revenues derived from the export of raw materials has not translated into structural transformation. Although the Bolivian government has broken with classical extractivism, nationalization and state intervention have not been sufficient…
European Periphery Crises, International Financial Markets, and Democracy
This article analyzes the origin and causes of the recent economic and financial crises, mainly for the countries located in the periphery of the European Union (EU), as well as their evolution and transformation into social, political, and institutional crises.After explaining the differential impact of the crises on EU economies, we analyze how the economic policies developed thus far not only are unable to resolve the current crisis pattern bu…

International finance and development

The basic needs strategy as an option. Its possibilities in the Latin American context
The basic need strategy has been intensively discussed at international forums in recent years, but there still exists today a certain ignorance regarding its content and the economic and political factors which would favour its establisment and consolidation. Accordingly, the author begins by defining it clearly, for which purpose he contrasts it with other strategies, particularly those aimed at eradicating poverty and other which combine eleme…
Urgencies and imperatives for revolutionary (environmental) transitions
There can be no doubt: revolutionary steps are needed to build just alternatives to the failed mainstream model of hegemonic ‘development’ and the universal conception of the ‘one world’ that have
