This book discusses the role that integrated science and higher education policies may play in further democratizing and promoting social-economic development in Latin America. The books suggests that this may be achieved through two complementary goals: I) broadening the access to knowledge through formal learning processes of higher education, as well as fostering informal processes of science culture, and II) promoting the advanced qualification of people while strengthening research institutions. This entails a complex process of policy integration, with emphasizes on human resources and institutional issues combined in processes of technical change.§In responding to the explosive social demand for higher education, competitive globalized markets, and the vast socio-political transformations already induced by new waves of educated youth, countries face the need and the opportunity to invest more in science, technology and higher education. This is a fundamental issue for Latin America. Social unbalances in education and the need to enlarge the human capital pool have been longstanding challenges for Latin American countries sustained socio-economic development.§The book deals with three main challenges that most Latin American countries face in a globalized age based on knowledge and ever evolving learning processes. The challenges relate to the need to broaden the access to higher education; second, to make this access more socially balanced; and, third, to recover from a long gap in investing in knowledge production and dissemination. This book treats these issues from a variety of conceptual and methodological perspectives that present not only a contribution to the field of science policy and higher education studies, but also to inform policymakers in Latin America.
