The Center for the Study of State and Society (CEDES) is one of the most important scientific research centers in the field of social sciences in Argentina. For decades, its area of Public Policy and Management has been one of the most outstanding and original places for the production of knowledge on the state, administration, and public policies, not only in Argentina but also in Latin America as a whole.
This center was created in 1975, the year before the military coup that would give rise to the cruelest dictatorship in Argentina. This organization was a safeguard for independent scientific production. Meanwhile, the universities and a large part of the intellectual field were persecuted, and their members were dismissed, persecuted, and many of them had to go into exile or were part of the long lists of the disappeared. The foundation survived among the few “catacombs” of independent knowledge in Argentina, financed by international entities and its members. Oscar Oszlak, Guillermo O’Donnell, and Marcelo Cavarozzi, among others, developed their research here. In this chapter, we will review the academic production, focusing on the working papers, reports, and books published by this foundation from 1975 to 2020.
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.
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.
