Estado y políticas públicas: Enfoques de análisis en el marco de la estrategia emergente

Understanding the evolution of the concept of public policy allows you to expand your field of study and contributes to improving the decision-making process. This article describes the models: sequential, incremental and mixed exploration, as well as the type approaches: functional, historical, production, limited rationality and strategic. Likewise, it establishes some criteria for the formulation and implementation of public policies. To do this, a systematic review of the knowledge of public policies is carried out from the organizational, productive and critical dimensions. The approaches of the various authors consulted are contrasted with the concept of strategy, coming from the field of administration. It is concluded that the concept of public policy is analogous to the strategy of private organizations; however, in the public sector a dichotomy between formulation and implementation is evident, caused by the separation between policy and public administration. It is proposed to develop monitoring mechanisms for emerging strategies to promote adaptation and organizational learning.
