| is costa rica a socialist country: Market, Socialist, and Mixed Economies Carmelo Mesa-Lago, 2003-11-05 How can we determine which economic model best provides for economic development and social welfare? In this major comparative work, noted economist Carmelo Mesa-Lago analyzes three Latin American countries with divergent economic systems: Chile (a market economy), Cuba (socialist), and Costa Rica (mixed). He examines their economic and social policies, shows how these policies affect performance based on a set of socioeconomic variables, and ranks the countries among themselves (using new techniques) and in comparison with international indicators. The time frame of the study embraces thirty-eight years for Costa Rica (under the democratic social democracy) and Cuba (under the socialist revolution) and twenty-four years for Chile (under Pinochet and the return to democracy). Mesa-Lago focuses on the three diverse socioeconomic models that these countries represent during these periods. |

| is costa rica a socialist country: The Politics of the Internet in Third World Development Bert Hoffmann, 2004-10-01 This book examines the political and developmental implications of the new information and communication technologies (NICT) in the Third World. Whereas the concept of the digital divide tends to focus on technological and quantitative indicators, this work stresses the crucial role played by the political regime type, the pursued development model and the specific configuration of actors and decision-making dynamics. Two starkly contrasting Third World countries, state-socialist Cuba and the Latin America's show-case democracy Costa Rica, were chosen for two in-depth empirical country studies. |
| is costa rica a socialist country: Socialist Cosmopolitanism Nicolai Volland, 2017 Socialist Cosmopolitanism offers an innovative interpretation of literary works from the Mao era that reads Chinese socialist literature as world literature. Nicolai Volland demonstrates that Chinese socialist literature was not driven solely by politics but by an ambitious--but ultimately doomed--attempt to redraw the literary world map. |

| is costa rica a socialist country: Discovering the World Leonid Shagalov, 2023-08-30 This book is extraordinary. It introduces the reader to the behind-the-scenes world of the ballet dancers of the famous Beryozka Dance Ensemble. He tells about the difficult preparation of that lyrically beautiful, and sometimes enchanting dance festival, which is seen by spectators who come to the concert of the ensemble in any country. Moreover, this book talks about the unusual situations that the artists of the Ensemble found themselves in when traveling across different countries and continents. And there were many such situations, because the Beryozka Ensemble performed in more than 60 countries around the world. The author of the book, a dancer himself, a dance teacher and a participant in the events described in the book, seeks to bring the impressions of foreign trips and convey the unique atmosphere of each country, consciously or unconsciously drawing comparisons with his native country. The book is based on real, non-fictional events and undoubtedly has cognitive and educational value for the inquisitive reader. The book is richly illustrated with photographs by the author. |
| is costa rica a socialist country: In Pursuit of Health Equity Eric D. Carter, 2023-07-05 Throughout Latin America, social medicine has been widely recognized for its critical perspectives on mainstream understandings of health and for its progressive policy achievements. Nevertheless, it has been an elusive subject: hard to define, with puzzling historical discontinuities and misconceptions about its origins. Drawing on a vast archive and with an ambitious narrative scope that transcends national borders, Eric D. Carter offers the first comprehensive intellectual and political history of the social medicine movement in Latin America, from the early twentieth century to the present day. While maintaining a consistent focus on health equity, social medicine has evolved with changing conditions in the region. Carter shows how it shaped early Latin American welfare states, declined with the dominance of midcentury technocratic health planning, resurged in the 1970s in solidarity against authoritarian regimes, and later resisted neoliberal reforms of the health sector. He centers socialist and anarchist doctors, political exiles, intellectuals, populist leaders, and rebellious technocrats from Argentina, Chile, Brazil, and other countries who responded to and shaped a dynamic political environment around health equity. The lessons from this history will inform new thinking about how to achieve health equity in the twenty-first century. |
| is costa rica a socialist country: Flexible Families Caitlin E. Fouratt, 2022-04-15 Flexible Families examines the struggles among Nicaraguan migrants in Costa Rica (and their families back in Nicaragua) to maintain a sense of family across borders. The book is based on more than twenty-four months of ethnographic fieldwork in Costa Rica and Nicaragua (between 2009 and 2012) and more than ten years of engagement with Nicaraguan migrant communities. Author Caitlin Fouratt finds that migration and family intersect as sites for triaging inequality, economic crisis, and a lack of state-provided social services. The book situates transnational families in an analysis of the history of unstable family life in Nicaragua due to decades of war and economic crisis, rather than in the migration process itself, which is often blamed for family breakdown in public discourse. Fouratt argues that the kinds of family configurations often seen as problematic consequences of migration—specifically single mothers, absent fathers, and grandmother caregivers—represent flexible family configurations that have enabled Nicaraguan families to survive the chronic crises of the past decades. By examining the work that goes into forging and sustaining transnational kinship, the book argues for a rethinking of national belonging and discourses of solidarity. In parallel, the book critically examines conditions in Costa Rica, especially the ways the instabilities and inequalities that have haunted the rest of the region have begun to take shape there, resulting in perceptions of increased crime rates and a declining quality of life. By linking this crisis of Costa Rican exceptionalism to recent immigration reform, the book also builds on scholarship about the production and experiences of immigrant exclusion. Flexible Families offers insight into the impacts of increasingly restrictive immigration policies in the everyday lives of transnational families within the developing world. |

| is costa rica a socialist country: Hostile Acts Martha Honey, 1994 In January 1989, Costa Rica charged CIA operative John Hull with the crime of 'hostile acts.' Hull was accused of contravening the country's policy of unarmed neutrality by using Costa Rican territory to run the contra war against neighboring Nicaragua. Sadly, the term 'hostile acts' seems appropriate to describe the overall impact of U.S. policies on Costa Rica during the 1980's. |
| is costa rica a socialist country: Alternatives to Privatization David A. McDonald, Greg Ruiters, 2012-04-23 There is a vast literature for and against privatizing public services. Those who are against privatization are often confronted with the objection that they present no alternative. This book takes up that challenge by establishing theoretical models for what does (and does not) constitute an alternative to privatization, and what might make them ‘successful’, backed up by a comprehensive set of empirical data on public services initiatives in over 40 countries. This is the first such global survey of its kind, providing a rigorous and robust platform for evaluating different alternatives and allowing for comparisons across regions and sectors. The book helps to conceptualize and evaluate what has become an important and widespread movement for better public services in the global South. The contributors explore historical, existing and proposed non-commercialized alternatives for primary health, water/sanitation and electricity. The objectives of the research have been to develop conceptual and methodological frameworks for identifying and analyzing alternatives to privatization, and testing these models against actually existing alternatives on the ground in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Information of this type is urgently required for practitioners and analysts, both of whom are seeking reliable knowledge on what kind of public models work, how transferable they are from one place to another and what their main strengths and weaknesses are. |

| is costa rica a socialist country: the Cuban Economy Archibald R.M. Ritter, 2004-05-09 Cuba faced an economic meltdown of catastrophic proportions in the early 1990s when covert subsidies from the former Soviet Union disappeared. Policies instituted by the island republic's government to handle the worst problems have had inconsistent results. Opening the economy to foreign enterprise has resulted in positive growth in tourism and nickel and cigar exports. However, remnants of the older economy, including the sugar and biotechnological industries, have only experienced a decrease in capital and importance. Basic educational and health services have been maintained surprisingly well, but the standard of living is still far below the highs of the 1980s. With contributions from many leading Cuba scholars, The Cuban Economy offers not only an analysis of the economy since 1990, but also a look towards future prospects. |

| is costa rica a socialist country: Foundations of Comparative Politics Ken Newton, Jan W. Van Deth, 2005-09-01 This authoritative new introductory text covers the key concepts, theories and issues involved in the study of comparative politics. Focusing on democratic government, it covers all important topics in the field from constitutional design and institutions; through mass and elite politics, groups, parties, the media and governments; to policy making and implementation.

The authors draw on experiences and examples from around the world, and the book includes extensive supporting apparatus for students and teachers, including briefings, fact files, key terms, guides to further reading, and related websites. Each chapter ends with a section dealing with the major theoretical approaches to the subject. The aim is to give students a clear and comprehensive account of democratic politics and government at the start of the twenty first century. |
| is costa rica a socialist country: No More Free Lunch Claes Brundenius, Ricardo Torres Pérez, 2013-09-24 In September 2010, the Cuban government decided to embark on an economic reform program, unprecedented after the Revolution in 1959. This opened up opportunities for Cuban economists and scholars to participate in the development of the reform program. Thanks to grants from SSRC (Social Sciences Research Council, New York) and the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, several researchers from the Cuban think tank CEEC (Center for Studies of the Cuban Economy, Havana) got an opportunity to visit countries that could be of interest for the reform process, notably Vietnam, but also Brazil, South Africa and Norway. The result of these field visits and a subsequent workshop involving contributions from Cuban as well as non-Cuban scholars, this volume showcases unprecedented new insights into the process and prospects for reform along many dimensions, including foreign direct investment, import substitution, entrepreneurship and business creation, science and technology development, and fiscal policies. The resulting analysis, in a comparative perspective, provides a framework for future research as well as for business practice and policymaking. |
| is costa rica a socialist country: Reigniting Employee Engagement: A Guide to Rediscovering Purpose and Meaning in Healthcare Tom Atchison, EdD, 2021-10-23 Many organizations know employee engagement is essential to success, but few approach it in the right way. Bonuses, thank-you notes, employee-of-the-month awards, and similar initiatives may produce temporary boosts in morale but do not build a long-term culture of true engage-ment. Reigniting Employee Engagement: A Guide to Rediscovering Purpose and Meaning in Healthcare presents a simple model for creating sustainable employee engagement—now more elusive than ever because of ongoing changes in healthcare delivery. Rising caregiver burnout is an es-pecially critical issue, and this book provides a method for refocusing on basic human needs to reenergize the healthcare workforce. Author Tom Atchison explores the psychology of why and how people commit to their work, while debunking many myths, such as money being the best motivator. Each chapter features an interview with a successful healthcare executive who offers perspective and advice on how best to approach employee engagement. These performance profiles allow readers to see how the book's model applies to real-world scenarios in healthcare. Topics covered in this book include: •Worker values, meaning, and purpose •Leadership's role in employee engagement •The importance of corporate culture •Proven motivation techniques •Strategies doomed to fail Employee engagement is not as simple as telling someone they have done a good job. Meaning and purpose are the most powerful motivators in healthcare. The key is helping professionals to rediscover their passion for patient care and to remember what originally led them to their call-ing. This book shows the way. |

| is costa rica a socialist country: Climate Governance across the Globe Rüdiger K.W. Wurzel, Mikael Skou Andersen, Paul Tobin, 2020-12-30 This book takes an innovative approach to studying international climate governance by providing a critical analysis of climate leadership, pioneership and followership across the globe. The volume assesses the interactions between climate leaders, pioneers and followers, across multilevel and/or polycentric climate governance contexts. Examining the state and sub-state levels in both the Global South and Global North, as well as regional, supranational EU and international climate governance levels, the authors explore 16 countries across Asia, Australasia, Europe, and Central and North America, plus the European Union. Each chapter employs a comprehensive and consistent framework for analyzing leadership and pioneership, as well as followership. The findings provide new insights into the strategies and actions of sub-state, state-level, and supranational leaders and pioneers. This book will be of key interest to scholars, students and practitioners in environmental politics and climate change governance, as well as those interested in political elites, EU studies and, more broadly, comparative politics and international relations.

Many of them happened during my childhood. There are also more recent happenings. They are true and are as accurate as far as I can recall. Dates and ages are approximate as I didn't have a diary or any other written record to relay on. I tried not to be egocentric, narcissist, selfish or anything similar, but I was the main protagonist in this narrative; I was there. My siblings and other people may have similar and complementary stories, but it is up to them to write their part if they so desire. |
