El fenómeno de la pobreza como problema público invita a reflexionar cada vez más sobre la responsabilidad que tiene el Estado frente a la ciudadanía. El objetivo de este artículo es explorar las diferentes aproximaciones teóricas a las nociones de desarrollo local y microfinanzas para establecerlas como herramientas de atención a las necesidades socioeconómicas de las personas con escasos recursos. De ahí que, en este trabajo, partimos de la hipótesis de que el desarrollo local y las microfinanzas son, en efecto, instrumentos fundamentales para dar respuesta a las necesidades sociales, como causas de la pobreza. En realidad, al margen de la banca oficial y de los prestamistas informales, las instituciones de microfinanzas han revolucionado la financiación del desarrollo económico y social, especialmente en Asia, África y América Latina. A través de una revisión analítica de la literatura, llegamos a la conclusión de que la racionalización del microfinanciamiento es una operación conceptual de suma importancia, que debe rebasar el simple deseo de apoyar el desarrollo local y combatir a la pobreza, ya que resulta de un proceso de toma de decisiones con impactos multidimensionales.... view less

Poverty as a public issue encourages further thinking about the responsibility that the State has towards its citizens. This article aims to explore the different theoretical approaches to the notions of local development and microfinance, to establish them as tools to deal with the socioeconomic needs of underprivileged people. In this sense, the hypothesis of this paper considers that local development and microfinance are indeed essential tools to solve social needs, as a source of poverty. In fact, apart from the official banks and informal lenders, microfinance institutions have revolutionized the financing of economic and social development, especially in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Through an analytical review of literature we conclude that rationalization of microfinance is a crucial operational and conceptual stage that must transcend the goal of supporting local development and tackling poverty, as it is the outcome of a complex decision-making process with multidimensional impacts.... view less
