dc.description.abstractThe gradual creation of a constitutional system and codification of norms and liberal reforms slowly consolidated the Costa Rican Democracy. The paper asserts that a social tendency in most Costa Rican policies, groups and civil movements before 1948 was fundamental to the interventionist character of the State apparatus in subsequent years. The second part of this investigation presents the latest (2008) indicators of Costa Rica’s democratic system and the historical nature of developments of national institutions that point to the logic behind some of the challenges and contradictions of present-day Costa Rica.en
