Resumen
Public policies shape the ways in which societies organize education, distribute resources, and negotiate collective life across territories marked by inequality, violence, and institutional strain. This volume brings together student-driven analyses that examine public policy not as an abstract administrative exercise, but as a situated practice embedded in social relations, historical trajectories, and everyday experiences. The chapters collected here originate from the Public Policy Panel of the Third International Congress of Students of Humanities and Social Sciences and reflect a wide range of disciplinary perspectives, empirical settings, and methodological approaches. Education occupies a central place throughout the book, explored through its tensions with economic rationales, pedagogical projects, and territorial disparities. Other contributions focus on childhood and schooling environments, community- based pedagogies, youth-oriented public programs, social entrepreneurship, access to well- being, human security in contexts of violence, and the governance of cultural heritage. Rather than offering unified answers, the book foregrounds complexity and acknowledges the limits of standardized policy models. The analyses reveal how public interventions interact with local dynamics, social imaginaries, and power relations, often producing unintended effects alongside their stated goals. Attention to territory emerges as a recurring analytical lens, allowing authors to connect macro-level policy frameworks with lived realities and localized forms of agency. Taken together, the volume highlights the relevance of Humanities and Social Sciences for understanding public problems in their full social depth. It also affirms the intellectual capacity of students to produce rigorous, context-sensitive knowledge that engages critically with contemporary policy debates, while remaining attentive to ethical responsibilities and social consequences.
