Academic research examines strategic planning and scientific rights in Peru and Mexico

Recent academic studies from Peru and Mexico explore institutional management and the democratization of science.

A thesis from the Universidad Nacional Daniel Alcides Carrión in Peru investigates the relationship between strategic planning and results-based budgeting within the Yanacancha District Municipality in Pasco for 2024. The study analyzes how strategic planning correlates with budget programming, monitoring, independent evaluations, and management incentives through a sample of municipal workers.

In Mexico, research published via the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México examines science as a human right and a participatory public good. Using a qualitative approach and the theory of communities of practice, the study analyzes initiatives at the Universidad Autónoma de Zacatecas, including the Science Children's Club, the Quark Group, and the Caxcán Institutional Repository. The research highlights the tension between the public nature of knowledge and privatization, suggesting that strengthening communities of practice is essential for effective scientific participation.
