| Resumen: | The main goal of this new Report is to present an overview of the social sciences in the different areas of the world.
This Report is primarily addressed to policy-makers, to agencies financing and evaluating social science research in different countries (for example research councils), international organizations and development agencies concerned with social issues, and social science research associations. It should also interest academic institutions and researchers, as well as the many civil society users of social sciences such as nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and the media. This report is a unique collection of information on the institutional and organizational aspects of social sciences, and on the various divides that characterize their production and use. The articles highlight the enormous but skewed growth in social science production; the large but uneven influence of this production on society and on policy-making; the explosion and comprehensiveness of the themes covered, despite the continued fragmentation of social science knowledge; and the globalization of social sciences, despite the persistence of geographical and knowledge gaps in the social science map. We hope that the Report will prove useful and relevant to different readerships, and that its recommendations will lead to constructive discussions in a wide range of different circles. |
