The aim of this paper is to analyse Argentina's response to the changes in the global agro-biotechnological industry scenario face to the emergence of gene editing as a fundamental innovation, over the past decade. The proposed analytical framework links the industry's technological trajectory with its institutional configuration. The study is based on a series of interviews with key industry figures and the review of specialised secondary sources. The findings indicate that, in response to the central elements of novelty in the international landscape, associated with the potential reduction of technological and institutional barriers for the development and approval of new products, the national response involved the consolidation of a scientific and technological system of certain international relevance and a business base showing growing dynamism. However, this response has faced limitations in articulating and mobilising a heterogeneous and limited set of resources towards a common strategic focus., El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar la respuesta que se viene produciendo en Argentina ante los cambios en el escenario de la industria agro-biotecnológica mundial a partir de la difusión, durante la última década, de la edición génica como innovación emergente. El marco analítico propuesto vincula la trayectoria tecnológica de la industria con su configuración institucional. El trabajo se apoya en una serie de entrevistas realizadas a referentes clave del sector y en la revisión de fuentes secundarias especializadas. Como resultado se observa que, ante los elementos de novedad centrales del escenario internacional, asociados a una potencial reducción de las barreras tecnológicas e institucionales para el desarrollo y aprobación de nuevos productos, la respuesta nacional implicó la consolidación de un sistema científico y tecnológico de cierta relevancia internacional y una base empresarial de un creciente dinamismo que, sin embargo, ha tenido limitaciones para articular y movilizar un conjunto heterogéneo y limitado de recursos hacia un foco estratégico común.

This article analyzes the extent of child trafficking from a quantitative standpoint. The quantitative research approach was adopted in this study, supported by the application of cross-sectional exploratory and descriptive research design, which was used to address the extent of child trafficking in Ethiopia. A total of 636 household respondents were selected by systematic random sampling technique to fulfil the adopted quantitative survey. Data analysis was carried out using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 24.0 statistical software packages. Adapt Quantitative-Logistic Regression, Bivariate analysis, Multivariate analysis, and Cross-tabulation of extent and factors of child trafficking were thoroughly quantified. The extent of child trafficking from the total result in the study area is about 128 children had been trafficked from the total of 636 households and that means the extent of child trafficking is about 20.1 percent in East Este Woreda and Debre Tabor woreda in or 1 child from 5 children had been trafficked. It recommended, the research is needed to identify the extent of child victims and vulnerable of trafficking in the study area to combat the problem. On the other hand, for a clear understanding of the International Conventions and Treaties (such as fully translating Rights of the Child and all ratified conventions), the publication should be translated to Amharic and Oromifa version (local language) in the official Negarit Gazeta of Ethiopia, so that everyone could understand and seek to implement their right easily. Information gup is a disadvantage for the nation, the government should use different programs on television and radio to address the issue.

           The main aim of this paper is to examine the impacts of the crisis on fiscal space and government social spending. It also examines the design and implementation of national rescue packages, concentrating in particular on the composition of stimulus packages in terms of social protection and employment measures. This study analyses data from the year 2000 to 2011 in order to find out the Global Crises, fiscal space and national response. In this analysis various secondary sources have been used. It analyses the impacts, shortcomings, challenges, and policy reform measures of the Global food crisis.The global nature of the recent crisis limits that option. Countries with the flexibility to implement counter-cyclical policies have been better able to mitigate the impacts of the crisis on their economies and people Likewise, countries that have social protection systems as well as active labour market programmes in place, have been in a better position to mitigate adverse social impacts. It seems many countries learned lessons from previous crises and devoted substantial shares of their stimulus spending to the social sector to either expand existing programmes or to implement new ones. Unfortunately, many poorer developing countries lack the institutional and/or fiscal capacity to finance effective stimulus and welfare measures on their own. Instead, they must depend on aid to fill budgetary shortfalls in education, health and other programmes aimed at addressing poverty.           Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization estimates that the average annual shortfall in funding needed to meet the internationally agreed development goals in education is $16 billion, $5 billion more than previously estimated (United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization, 2010). The crisis dampens the prospects for closing this gap. Thus, policy adjustments to support social spending and improve economic growth
