¿Es el territorio un “accidente” para las políticas de salud? Aproximación conceptual y reflexiones desde la investigación social

Abstract

This paper aims to introduce a territorial perspective to ponder on health policies. Not pretending to deny the inherent complexity of the area, it seeks to identify other nuances where politics is deconstructed and reconstructed in specific territories. Starting from considering health as an “open field” and reviewing various contributions of the territorial approach, the work seeks to place the territory beyond the scenario where the policies are deployed. In this movement, new questions are detected, other problems appear and new actors are revealed.
