Abstract

The article makes a characterization of the main socio-environmental conflicts in the
Costa Rican Caribbean in the period 2006-2012. This process will be presented from a
main conflict between the state and local villagers, who maintain several disputes about
a series of policies that modify the forms of land tenure and the lack of regulations in systems
of pineapple and banana monoculture.
