La universidad de la Sudamérica hispanoparlante pierde terreno: un análisis comparado con Oriente Próximo en investigación e innovación
Resumen
Sudamérica hispanoparlante y el Oriente Próximo son, dada la magnitud de su producción científico-tecnológica, regiones periféricas en el sistema científico global. No obstante, sus sistemas universitarios se han fortalecido en las últimas décadas. Este artículo compara la evolución de los sistemas universitarios nacionales de la Sudamérica hispanoparlante y el Oriente Próximo en las áreas de investigación e innovación, abarcando las distintas disciplinas del conocimiento científico. Se consideran indicadores de investigación, impacto científico e innovación. Los resultados evidencian que Oriente Próximo, a pesar de sus limitaciones, incrementó la producción científica, la extensión de las redes de colaboración internacional y la transferencia de tecnologías desde la universidad a la industria. De manera opuesta, los países hispanoparlantes de Sudamérica han caído en un estancamiento de su actividad científica y de innovación.
