Acercamiento a una Política de Información en Costa Rica

Abstract

Based on the broad dimensions of information production in the current context, information thathas increased to unimaginable levels thanks to the appearance of Information andCommunications Technologies, multiple questions have soared based on how the governmentshould manage that information in order for every user of the Society of Information to be able toaccess and make use of it. That question, unfortunately, has a negative response in the context ofpublic management in Costa Rica, because until today there has been no emphasis on creating aproject that includes a satisfactory solution. Therefore, the research presented below, will try toprovide an approach on the Information Society in Costa Rica, from what is expected, to whatactually exists. It also provides an insight into the different aspects that could be limited in thedevelopment and delivery of information policy that legally supports all components and actionsthat contribute to the public at large to enjoy and maximizing the opportunities and benefits ofindividual development and collective features of the Information Society.
