Zusammenfassung: | The place of local development issues in the country’s economic and social development model has changed drastically, especially in the last three years. Documents such as the Constitution of the Republic and the National Plan for Economic and Social Development 2030, together with the discourse, a set of approved policies and numerous actions by the government, clearly indicate that local development is no longer considered a relatively peripheral issue, of limited importance and only partially understood. To the contrary, it is now seen as a key element of the socio-economic transformations under way. In many municipalities the government–higher education–local development links are being consolidated. The Articulated Platform for the Integral Development of the Territories is an important tool: a flexible, integrative, inter-territorial, multi-level and multi-actor platform that operates throughout the country. The article reviews some of the obstacles that hinder the advancement of local development. Displacing the traditional centralist and top-down model is a difficult task.
El lugar de la problemática del desarrollo local en el modelo de desarrollo económico y social del país ha cambiado drásticamente, sobre todo en los tres últimos años. Documentos como la Constitución de la República (2019) y el Plan Nacional de Desarrollo Económico y Social 2030, junto a un conjunto de políticas aprobadas; el discurso y numerosas acciones gubernamentales, indican claramente que el desarrollo local ha dejado de ser considerado un asunto relativamente periférico, de importancia limitada y solo parcialmente comprendido, para ser un elemento clave de las transformaciones socioeconómicas en curso. A su vez, en muchos municipios el vínculo gobierno – educación superior – desarrollo local se están consolidando. Una herramienta fundamental es la Plataforma Articulada para el Desarrollo Integral Territorial. Es una plataforma flexible, integradora, interterritorial, multinivel y multi actoral que funciona en todo el país. Finalmente, en el artículo se repasan algunas de las trabas que dificultan el avance del desarrollo local. Desplazar al modelo fundamentalmente centralista y vertical tradicional es una tarea difícil. |
