    The following paper aims to analyze the legal framework of public procurement created with the expedition of Decree 092 of 2017. Through legal research methods, the paper proposes a systematic analysis of the legal framework recurring to normative, jurisprudence and doctrinal sources. Doing so, this paper will be focus on the definitions, typologies, main features and some problematic issues that the regulation implies. It will be held that this new regulation distinguishes between association public agreements, regulated by Act 489 of 1998 and partly by the mentioned decree, and “public interest” agreements that are supported by article 355 of the Colombian Constitution. About the similarities among both agreements it could be established that, (i) both public contracts must be sign up with nonprofit organization with recognized suitability, (ii) neither can imply a commutative relationship, (iii) both are regulated by the regime of disabilities and incompatibilities provided by Act 80 of 1993, (iv) the legal and constitutional principles of public procurement are applicable to them, and (v) both of them are subjects of the general norms applicable to public procurement except on the precise content of Decree 092 of 2017. © 2019 Universidad Externado de Colombia.

    Volunteering in Latin America: an approach to the differences between countries
    (Universidad EAFIT, 2019-12-06) López Concepción, Arelys; Gil Lacruz, Ana Isabel; Saz, Isabel; Universidad de Sancti Spíritus “José Martí Pérez”, Cuba; Universidad de Zaragoza, España
    Volunteering is a vehicle for communitarian participation in a way that enriches the whole society and volunteers. The World Value Survey data (WVS, 2010- 2014) show that in Latin America the percentage of volunteers varies significantly from one country to another, such that in Colombia 65% carry out volunteer activities, compared to 23% of Ecuador. While volunteering has been widely studied in AngloSaxon and European countries, there are hardly any studies for Latin America. The main contribution of this work lies precisely in expanding the knowledge of the factors that influence the decision to volunteer in the different countries of Latin America. The WVS data allow us to carry out an analysis that controls two levels of aggregation: individual and country. Our results highlight the positive relationship between income and education with affiliation and participation in the third sector. Since it is found that volunteering is a tool to improve the human capital and social capital of citizens, it would be desirable to establish public interventions that encourage volunteering among people with fewer resources or at risk of exclusion.
