Estudios/Working Papers Nueva Serie. Special Issue Electoral campaigns and public debate in the virtual sphere: Advances and challenges of digital toolsSpecial Edition Electoral campaigns and public debate in the virtual sphere: Advances and challenges of digital tools
Vol 7 No 166-182 (2020)The arrival of digital and internet tools transformed the different aspects of public life: from the forms of public debate to the operation of the Public Administration itself. Political leaders, citizens, public institutions and the media were not left out of the new scenario and were, to a greater or lesser extent, adopting the new tools and participating in the transformation of reality. In parallel, the studies on technological breakthroughs in electoral campaigns and voting decisions, in governance and in the Public Administration followed one another. But also on the transformations of the media, public debate and forms of militancy and social and political activism. In general, these studies have tended to observe the new reality in the light of classical theories, trying to identify whether the old postulates are still useful for new problems or whether new paradigms need to be proposed. This special issue provides studies in each of the areas: electoral campaigns, traditional and new media, public debate and social effects of the new tools. The set of articles presented in this special issue represent a compendium of works on digital tools from different perspectives, with special emphasis on the study of electoral processes and public debate in the virtual sphere (Papacharissi, 2002). This special number includes a part of the works presented and debated in the framework of the First International Congress of RICE (Network of Researchers in Communication of Ecuador), held at the FLACSO Ecuador Headquarters in 2019. In this This new Ecuadorian network with an international vocation, RICE, was established, established with the objectives of promoting research in the field of Communication; strengthen the relationship between researchers; promote research projects in Communication; promote mobility between teachers and researchers with other networks and create meeting and discussion spaces for communication researchers in Ecuador, Latin America and Ibero-America. From the beginning, RICE has had the support and collaboration of GIGAPP (Research Group on Government, Administration and Public Policies 9, with whom it shares the vision of an open and collaborative academy. As a result of this alliance, this special number emerges.

Estudios/Working Papers Nueva Serie. Special Issue: Aging Policies, Governance, Innovation and Popular Participation
Vol 7 No 150-165 (2020)Carmen Pineda Nebot, Simone Martins, Silvia Maria Magalhães Costa (number coordinators) Longevity is a phenomenon observed throughout the world and represents a conquest of humanity, an important social transformation of this century. According to information from the United Nations, the world's largest population, which was 962 million in 2017, will reach more than 2 billion in 2050. It is estimated that in 2050 one in five people will be 60 years of age or older ( UN, 2017). In general, policies for older people point to the need to treat aging as a cross-cutting issue, favoring more horizontal forms of governance to break with sectoral management modes, in addition to inserting the older population in the formulation, implementation and evaluation processes. of public policies. This issue assumes the importance of sharing responsibilities among different segments of society to rethink old age, caregiver policies, intergenerational relationships, and alternative forms of management and social participation that serve to address the phenomenon of global aging and challenges it poses. -

Studies / Working Papers New Series. Special on Governance and Social Participation in Administration and Public Management
Vol 6 No 116-127 (2019)Carmen Pineda Nebot y Marco Aurelio Marques Ferreira
(Special number coordinators)In this volume of the magazine we are going to discuss a topic: participation of citizens in the administration and public management. This has been present on the political scene since the 1970s. Although the essence of democracy refers to a governance structure in which both power and control would emanate from the people, that was not, for decades, the dominant trend when the discussion referred to state actions and its control. For many decades, for the public administration literature the responsibility for the success of public policies and government action was attributed to the control exercised by the courts and by the legislative power; all from a strictly horizontal perspective, addressed by the agency theory (Ross, 1973; Banfield, 1975; Mitnick, 1984), in which citizens were not actors taken into account.
