Contenido principal del artículo

Cesar Nicandro Cruz Rubio
Tomando en cuenta aportaciones recientes realizadas por académicos reputados, tales como M. Howlett, B. Cashore, G. Capano y J. Real-Dato, este documento busca abordar las convergencias y disparidades del desarrollo teórico sobre el cambio y la dinámica de las políticas públicas, a fin de ofrecer una revisión de medio término. Nuestro interés no obstante es doble: poner sobre la mesa este tema, tan importante como incipientemente tratado en la literatura en lengua castellana, y proponer una integración tipológica sobre los elementos constitutivos o dimensiones de las políticas públicas a fin de determinar qué cambia cuando cambia una política, y avanzar con ello en el debate sobre el llamado “problema de la variable dependiente”
This article offers a midterm review based on recent contributions made by renowned authors academics such as M. Howlett, B. Cashore, G. Capano and J. Real-Dato to deal with theoretical development-related convergence and disparity regarding public policy change and its dynamics. Interest in such matter lies in raising awareness about such an important topic which is dealt with so lightly in literature published in Spanish, and proposing typological integration regarding public policy's constitutive elements or dimensions for determining what changes when policy becomes changed and using it to advance debate about the so-called "dependent variable problem".
