Summary
Policies are the instrument that governments mobilize for carrying out their intentions to interfere in reality, transforming their vision for the development of the territories they encompass into reality, whether on a national, local or supralocal scale. Several definitions have been proposed for the concept, with the following being suitable for the purposes of this publication: “a process, which involves decisions on the part of governmental bodies and authorities, and actions, carried out by an actor or a group of actors, which consists of goals and the means to achieve them” (Heller & Castro, 2007).
