An‡lisis del discurso y pensamiento cr’tico
La elaboración de libros como este en la universidad española, fruto del trabajo colectivo en un simposio académico multidisciplinar, se ha convertido en un género propio de características peculiares. Ante todo los preside un carácter libérrimo producto de los diversos posicionamientos filosóficos, ideológicos y personales de los investigadores que los escriben. Podemos decir, sin temor a caer en la hipérbole, que cada libro de los simposios de análisis del discurso es un trabajo sui generis, dicho esto en su sentido etimológico estricto, de su propio género. Estos libros son un instrumento que nos permite aproximarnos a la forma de entender el mundo que cada autor tiene, es una manera, en cierto modo, de penetrar en su intimidad, de poder dirigir una mirada a la personalidad interna, casi secreta, de su autor.
Panorámica de la prensa en el Ecuador garciano
El impulso constructor de una nación católica y moderna que promovió García Moreno en Ecuador, en la segunda mitad del siglo xix, desestructuró consensos, potenció el juego político y polarizó las opiniones. La prensa adquirió entonces un protagonismo propio y se convirtió en un "actor" impulsor de cambios que marcaron la cultura política del estado andino. En coyunturas específicas –económicas y electorales– se convirtió en un verdadero "campo de batalla" entre adeptos y opositores que pugnaban por la opinión de la sociedad ecuatoriana en su plural configuración. Esas múltiples y discordes voces son las que recoge el estudio desde un enfoque panorámico que conjunta la ...

Open Education: from OERs to MOOCs
This book focuses on the emerging phenomenon of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), which are changing the fundamental underpinning of educational systems worldwide and forcing educators and other stakeholders to re-think the way instruction is currently conducted. It examines the origins of MOOCs within the context of the open education movement, and reviews current policies, guidelines and initiatives to promote the use of ICT in education through the development and use of open educational resources from international practices, including implementation and licensing issues. With a particular focus on new trends in MOOCs, the book explores the potential of this emerging paradigm, its rise and its impact on openness in education. Various new initiatives are also presented, including more global examples and those that are more geared to certain regional contexts. The book is intended as a stepping stone for both researchers and practitioners who are looking to approach MOOCs from a holistic perspective.
How Does Foreign Direct Investment Affect Economic Growth
We test the effect of foreign direct investment (FDI) on economic growth in a cross-country regression framework, utilizing data on FDI flows from industrial countries to 69 developing countries over the last two decades. Our results suggest that FDI is an important vehicle for the transfer of technology, contributing relatively more to growth than domestic investment. However, the higher productivity of FDI holds only when the host country has a minimum threshold stock of human capital. In addition, FDI has the effect of increasing total investment in the economy more than one for one, which suggests the predominance of complementarity effects with domestic firms.
