La política de reforma y modernización de la gestión pública en Chile: Actores y procesos

Abstract

This study examines the reform and modernization of public management in Chile during the first three post-authoritarian democratic governments. Its focus is on the stages of public policy and its actors. The objective is to understand the context in which the policy arises and is implemented, as well as the implicated actors’ strategies. It concludes that the public management modernization and reform policy arose as a product of the requirements of the “new democracy”, on the initiative of so-called technopolitical actors. The strategy followed by these actors excludes citizens and parliamentarians
