CAMACHO SALINAS, Roberto; VILLEGAS, Miriam and MENDIZABAL, Christian. Bolivia Between Economic Reality and the Academic Utopia. Rev. Cubana Edu. Superior [online]. 2015, vol.34, n.1, pp.81-106. ISSN 0257-4314.
As from the look of the Bolivian average citizen, that which incorporates to his/her every day and concrete world the tangible and intangible products of scientific and technologic development, what he/she sees is discouraging. The answers to the country's needs, going from a more effective irrigation system, to political participation and incidence as citizenship's manifestations, are unstable, circumstantial, and depending. On the other hand, the managers of knowledge -universities and State- have not been able to carry out scientific and technologic development policies that go beyond the required demands because of the historic needs. Moreover, this answer has been conditioned by one of the variables that, in Latin American in general, and in Bolivia in particular, is determining: finance for social science research development.
Keywords : science and technology; technologic and scientific development; finance.
