Resumen
CASTELAO-CARUANA, María Eugenia; VITA, Mariel de y LAVARELLO, Pablo. Proximities in Technological Learning: Methodological Contributions for the Study of Local Frameworks in Latin America. Ens. Econ. [online]. 2021, vol.31, n.59, pp.41-61. Epub 24-Dic-2021. ISSN 0121-117X. https://doi.org/10.15446/ede.v31n59.93273.
The diffusion of new technology within the framework of a growing internationalization of production represents a challenge for Latin American economies, due to their impact on the specialization and diversification trajectories of the local production frameworks and the intensification of asymmetrical and incomplete educational processes. A proximities approach offers theoretical-methodological elements that are useful in grasping the role of geographic and non-geographic conditions at work in learning and innovation processes. However, this approach has been developed based on theoretical and empirical studies that analyze innovation processes in developed countries and question the relevance of geographical proximity in these processes. This article proposes a reflection on this approach and rethinking its conceptual approach and methodological design to analyze innovation processes in technical-production frameworks in Latin America. This analysis shows that the study of this phenomenon - from a proximities approach- should consider its complex character, which is impossible to disassociate from context and, as such, the importance of the case study as research method, as well as the exiting tensions among global and local dynamics and the State's unavoidable role in these processes.
