Abstract

SALAZAR, Boris. Sciences, hegemonic science, and development plan. Rev.econ.inst. [online]. 2023, vol.25, n.48, pp.129-142.  Epub Mar 18, 2023. ISSN 0124-5996.  https://doi.org/10.18601/01245996.v25n48.08.

To evaluate the role of science in a possible progressive government, a document from the campaign of Gustavo Petro and Francia Márquez was used. The evaluation ended in a failed debate in which both parties shared the erroneous idea of a hegemonic science, western or ancestral. This article shows that the appropriate text to evaluate the role of the sciences is the Development Plan of the current government. The dynamic interaction between complex systems, climate change science, environmental sciences, city science -or land use planning- and complexity economics underpins the architecture of the Plan and its strategic objectives and projects. No Colombian government has ever taken the sciences so seriously in the design of its basic roadmap.
