Capítulos en libros ; Este trabajo se estructura de la siguiente manera. En primer lugar, se repasará en perspectiva histórica la legislación nacional e internacional que da cobertura a la actual presencia de venezolanos en Argentina. En un segundo momento, se comentarán cuáles son los patrones descriptores de la antigua inmigración de origen argentino que residió en Venezuela. En un tercer apartado, se presentará cuál es el comportamiento reciente de la población venezolana en territorio argentino. Es importante destacar que tanto el segundo como el tercer acápite concluyen con una síntesis, a partir del push-pull model, de los factores explicativos en juego en cada caso en concreto (Portes y Böröcz, 1989). En un cuarto acápite, se analizará el discurso de los inmigrantes venezolanos radicados en el país rioplatense. En este inciso, se hará especial hincapié en el testimonio de los interrogados sobre cuestiones vinculadas a trayectorias migratorias y factores de atracción hacia la sociedad de acogida. Finalmente, se presentarán unas conclusiones tentativas. ; This work is structured as follows. First, we review in historical perspective the national and international legislation that covers the current presence of Venezuelans in Argentina. In a second moment, we will comment on the descriptive patterns of the former immigration of Argentine origin that resided in Venezuela. In a third section, it we will present what is the recent behavior of the Venezuelan population in Argentinian territory. It is important to note that both the second and the third sections conclude with a synthesis, from the push-pull model, of the explanatory factors at stake in each case in particular. In a fourth section, we will analyze the discourse of Venezuelan immigrants based in the River Plate country. In this subsection, special emphasis will be placed on the testimony of those questioned about issues linked to migration trajectories and factors of attraction towards the host society. Finally, some tentative conclusions will be presented. ; info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion

The world is aging as the population has fewer children and lives longer. This situation poses numerous challenges in several countries, not only to maintain stable population levels but also the standards of economic growth. In this context, migrations are presented as a possible solution by collaborating in maintaining welfare systems and vegetative balances of the increasingly aging countries. Argentina is no stranger to this reality. Projections show that the country has started to move towards this demographic scenario and that it will reach the end of the century seeing its population reduced. This article analyzes the country's migration policies and some concrete measures that could strengthen the opportunities that migration presents in this demographic horizon.
El nivel de religiosidad ha sido identificado como uno de los factores que promueven (o contraen) las diferentes competencias cívicas que, a su vez, son tomadas como indicadores de integración política de los inmigrantes en las sociedades de acogida. En el presente artículo, se presentan los resultados de una investigación que, entre otras variables, ha explorado cómo la práctica religiosa contribuye al desarrollo de distintas actitudes políticas entre adolescentes de origen inmigrante que asisten a escuelas secundarios y/o bachilleratos en once ciudades españolas. Los datos recogidos son analizados. Ambos autores han contribuido en igualdad de condiciones y de carga de trabajo para la preparación de este artículo. Los resultados de esta investigación son una derivación de un proyecto financiado por la Junta de Castilla y León mediante la técnica de estadística multivariante denominada Análisis de Correlación Canónica. ; The level of religiosity has been identified as one of the factors promoting (or diminishing) the different civic competencies. The latter are, at the same time, indicators of the level of political integration of the migrants in the host societies. In this article, we share the results of a research where we explored the influence of the religious practices on the development of political attitudes among teenagers with migrant background attending secondary and high schools in eleven Spanish cities. Data collected is statistically analysed making use of Canonical Correlations. ; Proyecto financiado por la Junta de Castilla y León (SA010B08/ORDEN EDU/1160/2008). ; peerReviewed
The goal of this study is to evaluate the application of the flipped classroom (FC) format in the international studies curriculum. Previous research has examined the impact of the FC on students' performance, operationalized by test scores, and demonstrated the utility of this technique in the learning process. Our research goes beyond student performance to evaluate the impact of the FC on student class attendance and the development of a set of soft skills, such as teamwork, critical thinking, self-efficacy, academic self-concept, and perception of learning. In our experiment, we compare an FC with a non-flipped class that combines traditional lecturing with other active learning techniques, such as presentations, teamwork activities, and problem-based debates. The study finds that the FC did not have a substantial impact on either students' performance, attendance, or soft skills. The differences between the two groups were too small to corroborate any tendency in favor of one or the other format. For the most part, students performed in a similar way. This can suggest that the benefits of an FC format might be less when compared with other active learning techniques.
Artículos en revistas ; En el presente artículo, se pretende encontrar líneas de continuidad y discontinuidad en las relaciones entre Estados Unidos y América Latina durante las administraciones presidenciales de Barack Obama y Donald Trump. Para ello, se describirán en primer lugar cuáles son los trazos genéricos de estos vínculos. A posteriori, se detallarán y analizarán los lazos existentes entre el gigante del norte y las dos potencias regionales. Por un lado, se describirá la relación con México (su, hasta ahora, socio en el NAFTA y ahora en el USMCA). Por otro lado, idéntico ejercicio será realizado sobre la relación que ambas gestiones de gobierno estadounidense han mantenido con Brasil en un periodo que, en lo que cabe a este país, ha contado con momentos tanto en los que aspiraba a ocupar un rol de global player como otros en los que ha debido hacer frente a una intensa crisis política y económica. Finalmente, se presentarán unas conclusiones que resumen los patrones hallados ; In this article, we intend to find the continuity and discontinuity lines existing in the relations between the United States and Latin America during the presidential administrations of Barack Obama and Donald Trump. For this, we will describe first what are the generic traits of these links. Later, the existing links between the US and the two regional powers will be detailed and analysed. On the one hand, the relationship with Mexico (until now, a partner in the North American Free Trade Agreement or NAFTA, and now inUSMCA) will be described. On the other hand, the same exercise will be carried out on the relationship that both administrations of the US have maintained with Brazil, a country that wanted toplay a global role and faces an intense political and economic crisis. In the conclusions, the patterns found will be presented. ; info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion
Abstract Brain drain is known as the phenomenon in which people with knowledge or technical skills migrate to another country. Nowadays, brain drain is one of the most common forms of migration. Latin American countries are not exempt from this type of migration. Thus, in this article, we will investigate this phenomenon through the study and collection of data on Venezuelan people who migrate to Argentina, identifying the trends, characteristics, and situations in which the brain drain takes place.
