Policies for promoting technological catching up: towards post-Washington approach

This paper analyses the evolution of policies for technology catch-up through three periods: import-substitution, (augmented) Washington consensus and post-Washington period. We analyse the dominant policy models and practices in each of these periods as co-evolving with the dominant academic ideas, and changing the conditions for catching-up. We develop several dimensions or building blocks that characterise the policies for technology catch-up. These dimensions are used to characterise each of the three policy periods with the objective of outlining the generic features of an emerging post-Washington approach to technology catch-up policies in relation to past approaches

Connecting the Missing Link: Bringing Together Global Philanthropists and Global Community Philanthropy Organizations

In a project begun in 2011, Synergos brought together individual philanthropists and leaders of community philanthropy organizations (CPOs) from around the world to learn about and understand the potentially transformative benefits of forming partnerships to address societal problems.This project has opened a number of doors to creating opportunities for community foundations and philanthropists to extend their reach as well as significantly increase the impact of their work. It has substantially raised awareness and has also created safe spaces for constructive dialogue on how to move forward in working together. These spaces can now be transformed into more practical "laboratories" to address community problems

Support Group Outcomes for Hispanic/Latinx Youth in San Benito County

Relatively few studies have examined the process of social/cultural detachment in Hispanic/Latinx youth in the United States. The present project adopted an ecological approach to this issue, focusing on mezzo- and macro-level support system development, apart from micro-level character and self-esteem development. Educational disparities, acculturation stress, and familial oppression lead to gaps between parents, adolescents, schools, and the community. Following the Youth Alliance’s philosophy that youth need support from multiple sources in order to heal, the Guiding and Understanding Individuals in Achieving Success (GUIAS) program’s support group sessions bridge these gaps. By offering culture- and gender-sensitive lessons, hands-on activities, and education about important rites of passage, youth have the opportunity to adopt a newfound appreciation for their culture. Barriers faced by these families to close achievement gaps include having a lower socioeconomic status, as well as the current global pandemic which has made it even more difficult to make meaningful connections. Consequently, the 12-week support program has transitioned to a virtual Zoom setting. Week 6’s session, My Roots and Resilience, will address social and cultural detachment by teaching youth how their culture and roots make them resilient. The activity of repotting a succulent plant while connecting the nature of the plant to their personal abilities will allow the students to be engaged and retain the important concepts. By creating a welcoming virtual environment for the expression of social and cultural similarities and differences, the lesson strengthens student perceptions of support and provides education about family protective factors
