Beschreibung:The following article analyzes from a geopolitical and decolonial approach the environmental variable in the speeches and actions of the National Liberation party government of the former ex-president José María Figueres Olsen in Costa Rica (1994-1998). His government gave a central role to the sustainable development, turning it into a unifying force of the discourses and actions concerning both, his domestic and international public policies. The article demonstrates that this concept is used mostly according to some geopolitical conditions, regarding the international discussions about the relationship between society and nature within the boundaries of an economic model or theory about nature.
