Narratives of territorialization of public policies in Costa Rica and its effects on an indigenous community
Abstract
Public policies of territorialization in Costa Rica are often inclined to the emergence of new socio-spatial dynamics and constrains the importance of guarantying territorial actor participation in some ocations. The objective of this article is to overview the improvements and challenges regarding to public policies of territorialization in Costa Rica. The theoretical-methodological framework was based on literature review and non-in-depth review of public policies instruments on the topic. Empirical evidence is displayed to support the idea of the incorporation of the territorial aspects on Costa Rican public policies of territorialization. These evidences allowed to be identified in all the cases, issues to the relational element of socio-spatial dynamics and its influence on development processes, which is implied to a greater or lesser extent. Important issues persist in relation to the local actor participation and in deal with major challenges, such as the implementation of Agenda 2030 and the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. The experiences analyzed allowed to conclude that the implementation of an excessively normative approach can generate practices that are contrary to the effective territorialization of public policy instruments.
