This introductory chapter seeks to develop the fundamental concepts of the book, providing a meta-theoretical framework for addressing the study of the disciplinary fields. In this section, we furnish a general characterization of the country, its distinctive aspects, the political system, and the different levels of government that are relevant for policy analysis. The proposal in which we frame this work is the studies on the history and development of public administration and policy sciences. In this way, we will show the general guidelines of the development of policy analysis in Argentina, pointing out the milestones from the democratic period, marked by: first, the creation of postgraduate programs from the 1980s; second, the increase of academic production with the reform of the state at the end of the 20th century; finally, the specialization of sub-areas promoted by the creation of research centers. We find a final stage in the last decade with the consolidation of degrees in administration and public policy. At the same time will be discussed the main topics analyzed in Argentina, as well as the theoretical frameworks used and their methodologies, focusing on the relationship between academic production on public policy and policy making, which contributed to the development of this sub-area of knowledge.
This chapter seeks to analyze the knowledge production by the councils and other similar instances at the national level. Traditionally, the process of formulating public policy has been highly focused on executive bodies with strong decisionist patterns from the presidency and the governing party. For this reason, the production of public policies in the legislative bodies in our country rests with the committees of the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies. Thus, there was no stable body of congressional advisors to produce documents, reports, and publications on public policy.
The agencies we will take are: the National Council for Quality in Education; the Federal Health Council; the National Council for the Coordination of Social Policies; the Federal Investment Council; and, finally, the Secretariat of Social Security – which has a great academic production on the subject. To this end, we will review the reports, books, working papers, journals, and conferences that these agencies have produced. We will focus on social policies, which are the main policy area of our national government. Finally, from this study we will make a brief state of the art of the production on the country’s four major sectoral policies: social welfare, health, education, and infrastructure.
The latest edition in the International Library of Policy Analysis series explores a comprehensive overview of policy analysis in Argentina. It explores theoretical frameworks, views of the state, the development of the field, and current paradigms before examining knowledge produced at different levels (federal, provincial, and local); the application of the discipline by internal policy advisory councils, consultants, and committees; the role of think tanks, non-governmental organizations, and political parties; and the developments provided by university teaching and research.
Analyzing the conceptual frameworks and methodologies used from a meta-theoretical perspective, it provides a panoramic picture of the perspectives and challenges of policy analysis in Argentina.
