La ética jesuita y el espíritu del desarrollo

Abstract

THE AUTHOR ANALYZES THE CREATION OF THE DEVELOPMENT AND PEACE PROGRAM IN MAGDALENA MEDIO (COLOMBIA). RIVER MAGDALENA IS THE COUNTRY'S MAIN RIVER AND THE CENTRAL REGION OF ITS INTER-ANDEAN VALLEY IS THE GEOGRAPHICAL HEART OF THE COUNTRY. THIS SOCIO-HISTORIC RECONSTRUCTION IS BASED ON TWO AXES: ONE, THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE INCENTIVES THAT LED A RELIGIOUS BUREAUCRACY -JESUITS PRIESTS- TO UNDERTAKE A PROPOSAL FOR DEVELOPMENT IN A REGION WITH ACUTE POLITICAL CONFLICTS, AND TWO, THE IDENTIFICATION OF THE RATIONAL CAUSES UNDERLYING THE "IMMEDIATE DEVELOPMENT" PROPOSAL LAUNCHED BY THE JESUIT LEADERS.
