BARBOZA ARIAS, Luis; RODRIGUEZ MIRANDA, Alejandro  e  SAENZ SEGURA, Fernando. Rural development policies in Costa Rica: advances and challenges from territorial approach. Rev. Rup. [online]. 2020, vol.10, n.2, pp.1-20. ISSN 2215-2989.  http://dx.doi.org/10.22458/rr.v10i2.3017.

This paper is a review of the last two National Development Plans, implemented by the Central Government of Costa Rica. We study the political and institutional evolution of Solís Rivera’s (2014-2018) and Alvarado Quesada’s (2018-2022) administrations. The objective of the research is to analyze the territorial perspective into public policies for rural development design, and their evolution as part of the instruments aimed at promoting the sustainable development of rural territories. Some specific questions are: how these policies gave rise to specific instruments to address the complexity and intersectoriality of rural problems? What are the effects of these policies and instruments on the sustainable development of rural territories in Costa Rica? What are the challenges of a complementary rural development agenda with a territorial approach?

Palavras-chave : economic and social development; development strategies; policy making, programme planning; rural planning.
