In this paper we try to analyze some recent and ongoing changes that are taking place in the Uruguayan higher education system. Based on a system historically conditioned by the presence of a single public university, we try to briefly review the changes at this educational level in recent years, hand in hand with different national governments. In a regional scenario of increasing privatization from which Uruguay was apparently on the sidelines at times, we examine the characteristics of some changes that are taking place now and may constitute advances in a certain wave of privatization. We use contributions from the educational field, higher education and public policies and we conclude the text problematizing how novel these changes are and their possible impact given certain national characteristics.

This paper proposes an analytical model to understand, analyze and compare the state migration policies in the presence of persistent and increasingly migratory flows nowadays. Thus, migration policies are analyzed from the most critical concepts and with the historical reconstruction of the origin and development of migratory instruments and regulations. Finally, it proposes a model for analyzing the State's Governmental Logic with the help of Neo-institutionalist perspective and the Public Policies Approach; the Foucaultian-inspired debate on "technologies of power" for population control, and sociological developments on individuals' migration practices.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the role of the State in Argentina in the last three decades, based on oil policies, in order to understand its different transformations. The 90s were characterized by an abrupt referential change in the role of the state but especially in the productive and regulatory capacity on hydrocarbons. Despite of the neoliberal paradigm crisis on the beginning of the new millennium, energy policies on hydrocarbons still maintained the previous referential sector strategies. From the analysis of documentary sources and quantitative data, this paper aims to demonstrate how oil policy remains managed by market forces despite the fact that 51 % of Yacimientos Petrolíferos Fiscales (YPF) shares were purchased by the State.

The goal of this paper is to analyze Colombian public policies (laws) related to the intervention on the interdomestic violence (IDV), starting for the conceptions of function and the meaning of domestic violence. The first section contains a critical review on legislation (public policies) about IDV, more importantly in the national ambit of Colombia: law 294 of 1996 of the IDV law (reformed for the law 575 of 2000), and law 1257 of 2008, from which several laws have developed regarding sensitization, prevention and sanction of different ways of violence and discrimination against women; the penal code and the penal procedure are reformed, and law 294 of 1996 and other dispositions are dictated. This public policies are reviewed critically, with the final purpose of identifying the more common features that prevent or make an approach of the violent phenomenon more difficult. In this sense, as weaknesses of the public policies that exist in Colombia for the intervention on the IDV, it is found that: 1.- state actions (public policies) imply the traditional conception that violence equals aggression; 2.- it is necessary and possible to eradicate the violence from the family ties. 3.- derived from the above, a sanction and penal emphasis are made as the best way to eradicate IDV ; 4.- it is considered that the principal victim f this phenomenon it is the women, whence, in the public politics it is predominant the conception of a single gender, both in its conception and in its intervention; 5.- the conciliation processes are used as the best mechanism for supervision of the IDV, and finally, 6.- in public politics it is first the informative perspective, characterized for show a traditional conception of violence through psychosocial interventions, trainings and educational material; it concludes, in this section, that the understanding, explanation and intervention of the violent phenomenon has been dominated for a traditional conception of violence that, matching it with aggression or pretending its eradication, sustains the public politics strategies in the intervention of IDV of Colombia. In the second part f this paper work, and with the finality of showing the implication of the way that is conceived the violence present in the characteristics of the public politics here addressed is conceived the family as a composite system for elements of symbolic character that are articulated each from certain structure principles; said principles are: incompleteness of the system, lack of identity of the elements, covariance of the elements and dynamism of the system. The above offers the basis for pointing the possible consequences of the law, that, as a public policies promote a particular way of contextualize and intervene IDV and allow to analyze the implications of the public policies from a renewed way of understanding the function and the sense of the violent phenomenon inside the family. This implications allow to consider: the consequences about public policies and its impact on IDV the compare violence and aggression, the impossibility of eradicate the IDV, it is considered that the penal sanction is insufficient in the IDV intervention, the consequences of the primacy of the perspective of a single gender in public policies on IDV, it is reflected that the conciliation processes do not allow to understand the complex role played by the IDV, and finally, it is considered necessary to overcome the merely informative perspective on the IDV; At the same time, alternatives are outlined that could overcome these weaknesses. It is concluded that the way in which IDV has been conceived and the intervention that has derived from it, has made it difficult to understand the function and meaning of violence within family ties and has prevented more efficient interventions within the family.

Within the realm of the Anthropology of public policies, this paper analyzes the processes and state practices surrounding the creation of the categories of "emigrant" and "immigrant". It also analyses how these two categories are created, regulated and managed in the specific context of two labour recruitment schemes in Spain: Spaniards recruited to work abroad during the Franco dictatorship and non-Spaniards recruited to work in Spain in the first decade of the 21st century (2004-2008). The interest of this paper lies in the emergence of a set of discourses and knowledge produced by governments and non-governmental institutions and which is understood as part of a routine of power and tutelary control that fosters the construction of new subjectivities. This essay pays attention to the multiple interactions and encounters of these immigrants and emigrants with civil servants, NGOs, cultural mediators, politicians and businesspeople who are actively involved at the local or national level in processes of labour recruitment for temporary jobs in certain areas of the labour market.

This paper intends to problematize and put into perspective the use and abuse in the current political language about the idea of "State policy". Some authors have already made significant contributions, but seem insufficient because the notion increasingly used to further confusion. The idea is search the limits of this notion, inquire about the meaning and scope, analyze the possibility of finding specific attributes, whether there are policies in Argentina that could be classified as State policies and what does its existence in a democracy. Consequently, in this first approach, we will work on the everyday uses of the concept of State policy and to speak of these we will refer , primarily, to documentary sources not academic [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper provides information on the background, social regulation and problems faced by the Civil Society Organizations that take care of street kids in Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico and the role these institutions play in society. For this purpose, we applied a survey to 30 users and 15 employees working in these organizations in the state of Sonora, Mexico. The findings indicate that although there is a legal framework that protects kids, teens and young adults, and that there is a number of organizations with broad experience in their care, most of these young ones are not integrated into one of the institutions. Our conclusion is that the state government has not solved the homeless kids issue, and the organizations that take care of them do not meet the objectives for which they were created, thus limiting the possibilities of integrating the social group they are supposed to be serving.

The incorporation of the notion of interculturality since the 90's in the state context has involved a new position of the State-nation towards indigenous people. Since then, the concept of interculturality —that became central within recognition policy— has been used in the educational field and developed new discourses and practices based on a new premise: the value of the "cultural diversity". The new educational policy has recently incorporated that same premise, but this time in order to transform the neoliberal project based on the analysis of a new law in that area. The aim of this paper is to explore the discourse associated to the intercultural project in the new educational policy considering its theoretical implications and political consequences.

In this paper, I argue that the State's agenda deals basically with issues of development, governance, and equality. Starting out from this premise, I explore whether the differences between countries in terms of these three variables have a structural pattern and, if so, how stable this pattern is throughout the period under study. Using cluster analysis, I conclude that the world can be divided in two main groups whose composition remains relatively stable. In addition, it is shown that the governance gap between the two groups tends to diminish, but this is not followed by a concomitant improvement in development and equality gaps.

Institutions have returned to the research agenda of social sciences on renewed theoretical foundations. The new institutional economics and the historical and comparative institutional analysis have made theoretical contributions on the historical, political, and economic role of institutions, with Douglass North and Avner Greif being the main contributors. This paper analyzes the process of institutional change of the Spanish economy in the transition from Francoism to democracy. The analysis studies the existence of a Northian predatory State in the self-undermining institutional equilibrium of the early Francoism, and it follows the path of institutional change towards the self-reinforcing institutions with a contractual State on the democratic stage.
