Cooperación internacional descentralizada (CID) para la gestión de proyectos territoriales by Jahir Alexander Gutiérrez Ossa

“…Tanto la Cooperación Internacional como la Descentralizada contemplan inmensas posibilidades de acción para los entes regionales que tienen como premisa visibilizar su gestión; el cúmulo de obligaciones que tienen los territorios para responder ante las demandas internas que circundan su administración implica el mirar holgadamente esta perspectiva. Si bien existe todo el andamiaje institucional y legal de la CID a través del Sistema Nacional de Cooperación Internacional, el conocimiento al respecto es poco y la atención que se presta parte de la capacidad y las condiciones que tiene el Estado para acercarla, mas no constituye la figura insignia a seguir. …”

Depois desse percurso, é possível mostrar que o investimento dos bancos na cultura através da criação de Institutos e Centros Culturais pode ser explicado à luz da reconfiguração das relações entre Estado, empresas e terceiro setor que tende a assimilar a cultura à "agenda social", cada vez mais sob-responsabilidade de empresas preocupadas com a sua imagem. …”
