The member of the IUCIE, María Ángeles Abellán López, is the promoter and coordinator of the recent publication of the new book “Gobernanza democrática y ciudadanía global. Retos y nuevas competencias en las sociedades contemporáneas”. The book has chapters in Spanish and English and has authors from Spain, Portugal, France, Argentina and Brazil.
This work summarizes a series of reflections on the role of social sciences and some of the most important pending issues on the agenda of democratic governance in 21st century societies. In this sense, the fight for democracy never ends and must be defended to face the endless emerging challenges.
