This study is a case history of the role of the Ministry of Education in the formulation of the National Plan for Educational Development in Costa Rica between 1970 and 1974. It is concerned with both the theoretical role of the state in educational policymaking in a democratic context and the historical development of the welfare state in Costa Rica following the 1948 social revolution. The purpose of the study is to test the inclusionary corporate model (Stepan, 1978) by focusing on the policymaking process within the Ministry of Education. The study borrows from Peterson's (1979) unitary models of policy formation to interpret and explain the series of educational reforms that led to the formulation of the National Plan for Educational Development and its attendant legislation, the General Law of Education / acase@tulane.edu
