This book was released on 2013-11 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En los ultimos anos la internet y otras tecnologias de red se han convertido en un asunto central para el desarrollo de America Latina y el Caribe. Han demostrado su capacidad de aumentar la productividad y la competitividad de las economias, crear nuevas formas de ofrecer servicios de educacion y salud, y funcionar como fuerzas impulsoras para la modernizacion de la prestacion de servicios publicos. Este libro examina algunas de las preguntas claves: Internet continuara siendo abierta durante la proxima decada? La vigilancia en linea desafiara cada vez mas la privacidad individual? Los datos abiertos, las redes sociales y las nuevas formas de participacion, mejoraran la democracia en la region? Seremos capaces de aprovechar las posibilidades de colaboracion que ofrece internet para crear economias socialmente mas significativas y sostenibles? La educacion digital, la ciencia y la creatividad, prosperaran en ALC y reflejaran la diversidad cultural de sus pueblos? Las respuestas a estas preguntas seran claves a la hora de determinar si internet efectivamente contribuira a la creacion de una sociedad mas abierta y desarrollada en nuestro rincon del mundo. Este libro continua los debates que se desarrollaron durante el seminario "Desarrollo Abierto: Explorando el futuro de la sociedad de la informacion en America Latina y el Caribe," que tuvo lugar en Montevideo el 2 y 3 de abril de 2013. Organizado por Fundacion Comunica y el Centro Internacional de Investigacion para el Desarrollo (IDRC) en el marco de la "Cuarta Conferencia Ministerial sobre la Sociedad de la Informacion en America Latina y el Caribe," el seminario ofrecio una oportunidad para reflexionar sobre la direccion de los cambios ocurridos en la region y los nuevos temas que estan sobre el tapete, analizando como se pueden tratar mejor desde las iniciativas regionales. Los 25 capitulos del libro presentan una serie de reflexiones y perspectivas de muchos de los expertos de la region en esos temas. Mas que ofrecer una perspectiva consolidada, los autores se sumergen en los temas e indagan nuevas maneras de enmarcar los problemas, a la vez que buscan soluciones novedosas. A pesar de la considerable diversidad, el libro pone de relieve las numerosas concordancias emergentes en cuestiones relativas a las nuevas oportunidades y desafios para la sociedad de la informacion en la region.
Download or read book Enabling Openness written by Bruce Girard and published by IDRC Crdi. This book was released on 2013-11 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years the internet and other network technologies have emerged as a central issue for development in Latin America and the Caribbean. They have shown their potential to increase productivity and competitiveness in the economy, to create new ways to deliver education and health services, and to be driving forces for the modernisation of the provision of public services. This book examines some of the key unanswered questions: Will the internet in Latin America and the Caribbean remain open over the next ten years? Will online surveillance increasingly challenge individual privacy? Will open data, social media and new forms of participation improve democracy in the region? Will we be able to harness the collaborative potential of the internet to create more socially meaningful and sustainable economies? Will digital education, science and creativity flourish in the region, reflecting the diversity and culture of its people? The answers to these questions will be central to determining whether or not the internet will effectively contribute to a more open and developed society in our corner of the world. The book builds on a seminar, "Open Development: Exploring the future of the information society in Latin America and the Caribbean," held in Montevideo on 2-3 April 2013. Organised by Fundacion Comunica and IDRC, and held alongside the "Fourth Ministerial Conference on the Information Society in Latin America and the Caribbean," the seminar was an opportunity to reflect on the direction of the changes happening in the region, to bring new themes to the table and to explore how they can better be addressed in regional efforts. The 25 chapters in the book include the reflections of many of the region's leading experts in the area. Rather than present a single consolidated perspective, the authors dive into the issues, explore new ways to frame the problems and seek new solutions. Despite the considerable diversity, the book highlights many emerging points of agreement about new opportunities and challenges for the information society in the region.

Download or read book Trade and Employment written by Marion Jansen and published by International Labor Office. This book was released on 2011 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An International Labor Office and European Commission publication Although the effect of trade on employment is a popular point of economic debate, there are very few factual assessments available. This book examines the most recent evidence and provides guidance for the design of tools to assess more accurately the employment impacts of trade. Trade and Employment argues for strengthening the micro-foundations of models used to evaluate the employment effects of trade and for including the informal economy and adjustment processes in modeling efforts. It emphasizes the role of governments in helping firms survive or grow, in providing social protection to protect against external shocks, in addressing gender equity, and in building physical infrastructure and human skills bases that facilitate export diversification. It is a valuable resource for all those interested in the debate on the employment effects of trade: workers and employers, academics and policymakers, and trade and labor specialists.
