Abstract

As has been the case since its inception, CTS remains faithful to its vocation of examining the most significant and current issues in the field of science, technology, and society in Ibero-America. On this occasion, the articles section opens with a contribution by Mario Albornoz on innovation indicators and the difficulties in conceptualizing them from a theoretical perspective, given that these indicators are subject to constant evolution, preventing definitive conclusions. Albornoz also highlights the need to bring the analysis of indicators closer to the Ibero-American context. Next, Diego Hurtado de Mendoza explores Argentina's nuclear development during its last military dictatorship and questions the difficulty of interpreting technological purposes in countries that exist on the margins of the global stage. Meanwhile, Eguzki Urteaga examines the relationship that French citizens have with the environment, science, and technology, based on the results of a recently conducted survey. The section concludes with a study by Jesús Chía and Caridad Escalona, who address the Cuban experience in dealing with the impact of CTS, a factor that the authors consider essential in resolving the current economic imbalances in the Caribbean country.
