Óscar Arias Sánchez Costa Rica Óscar Rafael de Jesús Arias Sánchez * 13 de septiembre de 1941, Heredia, provincia de Heredia. N acido en una familia de la alta burguesía cafetalera, recibió las enseñanzas primaria y secundaria en centros privados de su Heredia natal y de la capital, San José. Inclinado primero por la carrera de medicina, se desplazó a Estados Unidos para estudiar en el Harvard Medical School de Boston, Massachusetts, pero transcurrido un tiempo, en 1961, retornó al país centroamericano y se convirtió en un aplicado alumno de las facultades de Derecho y Ciencias Económicas de la Universidad de Costa Rica (UCR). Obtenida la licenciatura en 1967, se trasladó al Reino Unido con una beca del Gobierno de ese país para formarse en la afamada London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) y en la Universidad de Essex en Colchester, por la que en 1974 obtuvo el doctorado en Ciencias Políticas. En 1969 estuvo de vuelta en Costa Rica y se integró en la plantilla de la UCR como docente de su recién perfilada especialidad politológica. En mayo de 1970, cuando aún no había cumplido los 30 años, fue contratado para prestar servicios de asesoría financiera en el gabinete presidencial de José Figueres Ferrer, veterano político y estadista que acababa de estrenar su tercera presidencia desde que liderara el movimiento revolucionario de mayo de 1948.

On Tuesday, 7 September 2004, at the annual Robert C. Barnard Environmental Lecture at AAAS, he will argue that the triple challenges of peace, development and the environment demand immediate action. The address is free and open to the public, and will be held at 4:00 p.m. in the auditorium at AAAS, 1200 New York Ave. N.W., in Washington, D.C. One of the most respected political figures in Latin America, Arias travels the globe spreading a message of peace and applying the lessons garnered from the Central American peace process to topics of current global debate. One of his key recommendations for improving global environmental health is international cooperation to reduce military spending. "As a statesman and laureate of the Nobel Peace Prize with a focus on democracy and environmental sustainability, Dr. Arias has been a tireless advocate for global peace and security," said Cynthia R. Robinson, director of the Science and Technology Policy Fellowship program at AAAS. "These are essential for the positive exchange of information and for international scientific collaboration to take advantage of the best science to foster human development."
