Una (re)visión heterodoxa del desarrollo (territorial): imperativo categorico

The world empírica! evidence shows a total slump of the promotion  of development programs, at least in the period  of 1941 - 2001, period in which the theoretic concept of devclopment turns in a political concept. The d ifferent intervention forms and the unlimited costs resources show a pathetical separate world within a limited number of "winners" and a great joint of "losers". The author afiirms that from now on it must be considered the development fomentation as a Kantian "categorical imperative". Also, it must be put in first place the axiological dimension of development, showing its state and intangible process character, subjective, dependent  of  the  t rajcctory   and  the territory.  The reasons of  the collapse of the last sexennium are centered, according to  t he  au thor,  in  "the  weight  of  the Cartesian night", it means, in the unres­ trictive adhesion to positivistic paradigm and to the analytic method.  When it has took to action, it has been traduced  in the "disjunctive increasing" of Lindblom. The author suggests a radical chan ge in the approach, suggesting a paradigm that com­ bines the complexity of constructivism, that considers the development as an emergent propriety of a complex territorial system, ant that uses concepts and instruments like "the  ne uronal   synapses,  the  cognitive synergy'', and "the social conversation" as means to raise an "engineer of territorial intcrvcntions" that gender the development effectively. lt suggests complex reforms in the manner of doing government.
