The main idea of this publication is to present a global view and knowledge about the social and political reality of the countries in the present context and to serve as a forum to share and exchange information and ideas. Sometimes the experiences of others are useful to know if you want to better understand your own country and its realities.

Each contribution to our publication must include a titled section “Reflections”, explaining the point of view of the writer and focusing on the investigation or experiences during the writing of the article or report. It should also include a clear description of the author’s suggestions for changing the situation that has been exposed in the article.

Ours is an international publication to diffuse and exchange ideas, which is open to people in different countries. For this reason each article should also include a short description/background of the situation, to give readers a general idea about the facts the article is talking about.
