Abstract
The Open Government; understood as a management paradigm or model, has managed to position itself as a key formula to the fight against corruption and distrust of public institutions; becoming an ally of public integrity. In spite of the advances in this matter from nations and its multilateral network, the Alliance for Open Government, it is in local governments where it may express better the scope and impact on people. In this regard, the present work shows the experience of developing a model of Local Open Government from the experience of the Chilean Municipality of Calle Larga, where the main opportunities and barriers that are in a rural context were detected in order to propose the implementation of an alternative model of Open Government in local administrations.

The present work seeks to make visible how the Open Government theme has been addressed in those rural territories, characterized by presenting high vulnerability levels, based on the detection of the main opportunities and threats that fulfill the formalities for a Local Open Government model in rural municipalities, from the experience of the Illustrious Municipality of Calle Larga
The information collected from the interviews and focus groups had the aim and objective to bring together the key persons mentioned in the Methodology section presented in Figure 1: Spheres of GAM Analysis in Calle Larga and the components of the Table 1
Summary
In the last two decades, the consolidation of democratic regimes in Latin America becoming representative democracies has been possible thanks to the important role led by the State and its institutions. Either due to how the latter incorporates demands from citizens through different governments and representatives, or civil society having more involvement in decision-making processes, or the way institutions adapt to the gaps left by instances of new participation. This versatility has shown itself through different reforms concerning the relation between State and society, which have been materialized in diverse “Modernization of the State” processes that seek, public resources optimization by efficiency and efficacy criteria, civility constitution, user’s satisfaction, and the improvement in public services quality (Tohá & Solari, 1996). The present work seeks to make visible how the Open Government theme has been addressed in those rural territories, characterized by presenting high vulnerability levels, based on the detection of the main opportunities and threats that fulfill the formalities for a Local Open Government model in rural municipalities, from the experience of the Illustrious Municipality of Calle Larga
