- Abstract: Costa Rica has been celebrated for its relatively high levels of economic development in a region marked by extreme poverty and income inequality. Recent scholarship has examined the competing and complementary interests of private capital and public institutions in pursuing an aggressive neoliberal growth strategy while preserving social programs created during the developmental period of the 1950s through the late 1970s. This article extends the inquiry by considering the position of the Costa Rican state in social and economic policy making and management. It considers Costa Rica from the perspective of developmental state theory, the construction of an 'intermediary state' characterized by significant elements of autonomy but without the capacity to alter independently economic or social structures. The 2008-2011 recession, public indebtedness, and related demands of capital and labor have overwhelmed Costa Rican intermediate-state capacity and undermined Costa Rica's covenant between economic growth and social protections.

- Abstract: Costa Rica está reconocido por el nivel relativamente alto de desarrollo económico en una región marcada por la pobreza extrema y la desigualdad de ingresos. Los estudios recientes examinan los intereses complementarios y opuestos del sector privado y las instituciones públicas que buscan una estrategia neoliberal agresiva de crecimiento económico mientras que conservan los programas sociales producidos durante la época desarrollista de la década de 1950 hasta finales de la década de 1970. Este artículo extiende esta discusión, investigando la posición del Estado costarricense en la producción y el manejo de la política social. Además, considera la teoría del Estado desarrollista y las implicaciones para Costa Rica, que ha construido un Estado 'intermediario' caracterizado por elementos de autonomía sin la capacidad de cambiar estructuras económicas y sociales. La recesión de los años 2008-11, el aumento de la deuda pública y las demandas de grupos privados y públicos han abrumado la capacidad del Estado intermediario y han amenazado los acuerdos fundamentales costarricenses sobre el crecimiento público y las protecciones sociales.

- Abstract: 一直以来, 哥斯达黎加都因其能在极度贫困和收入不平等的地区保持相对较高的经济发展而受到赞扬。近期的学术研究检测了私人资本和公共机构间相互竞争的利益和互补利益, 这些利益的产生则源于在追求强势的新自由主义发展战略的同时还保存了上世纪 50 年至 70 年代末发展主义时期建立的社会计划。本文通过考虑哥斯达黎加在制定和管理社会政策及经济政策时的位置, 从而扩大了调查。调查以发展型国家理论(developmental state theory)视角考量了哥斯达黎加, 该理论描述 '中等国家'(intermediary state)的建构, 其特征是高度自治, 但没有能力改变独立的经济结构和社会结构。2008-2011 年间的经济萧条、公共债务以及相关的资本需求和劳动力需求使得哥斯达黎加无法应对这一切, 同时也损害了哥斯达黎加在经济增长和社会保护之间承诺的协议。 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
