El Informe de este año resalta el gran aporte del enfoque de desarrollo humano, que ha sido más significativo que nunca para comprender el vertiginoso mundo en que vivimos y encontrar nuevas formas de aumentar el bienestar de la gente. De hecho, el desarrollo humano no se trata de un conjunto de preceptos fijos y estáticos, sino de un concepto en constante evolución, cuyas herramientas analíticas se adaptan a los cambios que ocurren en el mundo. Por ello, el Informe también da cuenta de cómo este enfoque se ajusta a los desafíos del nuevo milenio.

Transcurría julio del 2008 y el IPDRS era solamente una idea, pero, aunque jurídicamente aún no existía, ya se habían definido algunas de sus líneas de acción, entre ellas, contribuir a la reflexión y el debate sobre el desarrollo rural en Sudamérica a través de un formato de artículos cortos y ágiles que bautizamos como Diálogos.

Andar(nos) en la red: las TIC´s, los pueblos indígenas y el área rural.
Algunas consideraciones reflexivas.

Pensar el acceso y uso del internet y de las nuevas tecnologías en lo rural y desde los pueblos indígenas implica mirar de manera crítica tanto las potencialidades y los riesgos de la extensión de un proceso que -aunque lento y deficiente en nuestros países- no tiene vuelta atrás.

Availability of accurate and up to date data and information on land and different land uses, such as agriculture, forestry, mining, wildlife, water, housing and infrastructure, is critical to effective land governance and crucial for planning and managing the use of land and land-based resources. Public institutions and the government need land data and information for appropriate and timely decision-making; while land users, the general public and other stakeholders need it to effectively monitor and influence those decisions.

On March 15th 2019, 27 participants from India and across the world gathered at the sidelines of the India Land & Development Conference 2019 to discuss India’s Land Information Ecosystem. Availability of accurate and up to date data and information on land rights, tenures and administration as well as on different land use, such as agriculture, forestry, mining, wildlife, water, housing and infrastructure, is critical to effective land governance and crucial for planning and managing the use of land and land-based resources.

Rapidly changing food systems are creating both challenges and opportunities. As urban food markets have grown in recent decades, so too have rural–urban food supply chains. The growing urban demand has the potential to be a major force towards poverty reduction and inclusive rural development. This increasing urban demand for food, and especially for higher-value processed food, is creating opportunities for producers and agribusiness, including input suppliers.

The recent Secretary General’s “Report on Peacebuilding in the Immediate Aftermath of Conflict” warns of the threats posed by the failure to restore state authority to lead the peacebuilding process in early post‐conflict situations. This report advocates for coherent and well coordinated early action to support post‐conflict governments to build core state capacities that will help to restore legitimacy and effectiveness. This paper lays out a framework for reconsidering the unique challenges post‐conflict contexts pose to processes of state capacity development.

This edited volume brings together the work of scholars from different disciplines including sociology, political science and anthropology, and analyses how global institutions are embedded in local contexts within development aid. It examines theoretical and empirical implications of the diffusion and anchoring of world polity institutions at the local and global levels.

Currently, one of the main problems of science and innovation are the gaps in the innovation cycle, which are formed in the transition from basic research through research and development to industrial use. In this connection, in the emerging knowledge based economy in Belarus there comes to the fore the problem of transfer and commercialization of research and development. Transfer and commercialization of technology is the most important area, which contributes to the efficient use of the capacity of the national science and is intended to ensure access to new technology markets.
