BLANCO BARON, Constanza. Development planning: Economic, political o legal issue?. []. , 12, 24, pp.169-187. ISSN 1692-2530.

Colombia has shown a long tradition on development planning. During the process, the conflict between political and technical issues has been resolved in favor of the political issues; as growth and stability goals have been above the social policies, issues such as sustainability, environmental risk prevention, strengthening of participative democracy, autonomy, and development of regions and fight against poverty have been developed and legal norms to enforce such policies have been set. Although the concept of human development has infiltrated the process, such concept has not been an essential issue, and the problems intended to be solved are, in essence, the same we have experienced for over two hundred years when Colombia was identified as one country rich in resources but having a poor population, so the main goal was to create employment to generate income.
