Resumen
Las políticas de Ajuste Estructural han sido la base de la política económica costarricense en los últimos 10 años, por lo cual, han tenido gran incidencia en el análisis de los procesos y relaciones de cualquier sector productivo. En este contexto, los efectos ambientales de los últimos años, están decididamente influenciados por estas políticas, pues aunque, los programas de Ajuste no tienen como propósito direccionar aspectos ambientales, al modificar algunos precios relativos, pueden propiciar un cambio en el patrón de uso de un recurso, y es así como, tienen un efecto directo o indirecto sobre el ambiente.
