Doing research in Bolivia, Paraguay and Perú
The article by GRADE’s senior researcher María Balarin states the main outputs of a comparative study of the social research environments of Bolivia, Paraguay and Perú conducted as part of the GDN’s Doing Research initiative. The study was carried out as a collaboration between GRADE in Perú, Fundación ARU in Bolivia, and CADEP in Paraguay. Looking at why these countries fall behind others in the region, the study established that this is largely explained by an historical lack of state support —through policies and funding— to research in general, but particularly to social research.
