Item Contención social en tiempos de desigualdad: la política costarricense de seguridad ciudadana en la contemporaneidad(2015) Chinchilla Méndez, Mariela; Guadamuz Vargas, Andrea; Esquivel Corella, Freddy GiovanniThe present study came from the interest in clarifying the role of Costa Rican social security policies inside a context of increased violence and inequality as a restraint mechanism for expressions of inequality in current times. To accomplish this, the starting point was to create a socio-historical analysis of social reality using the Marxist dialectical method as reference. This method allowed the investigators to keep a constant dialog across multiple channels and locate the objectives of the study in time and space, while overcoming the immediacy of day-to-day life. The investigation process allowed the creation of theoretical, historical, conjectural, and contextual components, alongside categories like State, Public Policy, Social Security, Inequality, Social Control and Persuasion. From this process, it was established that, in the context of critical productive exhaustion, imperialist models function towards perpetrating power in hegemonic sectors. This is motivated by the infiltration of transnational capital through the instrumentation of international entities like the IDB, the United Nations, and the Organization for American States in order to dictate local policy. The reintroduction of repercussions of capital crisis into living conditions resulted in an increase of inequality. This, in turn, causes public policy to acquire characteristics that do not suit the reality for which it was created. When this policy reaches Latin American states, it comes tainted with interests from the hegemonic sectors disguised as human rights, safety, and development. In this context of critical productive exhaustion, inequality has been radicalized together with violence. This leads to traditional intervention strategies associated with crime, ultimately leading to an increase in penitentiary population while social security policies keep turning to social interaction to aid capital expansion and reproduction. This investigation also contributed to identify...
