O significado da trajetória histórico-partidária na análise das políticas públicas na América Latina

Abstract

This article reviews different perspectives public policies study. It identifies the first conceptions in this field to then track the studies that put into question those approaches, providing a new comprehensive version. These observe the limitations of the initial versions, which analyze public policies as technical decisions, independent of socio- political context. The purpose of this paper is to combine the second perspectives and new historical institutionalism notions. We believe that this combination may be an interesting approach to analize the construction of public policies in Latin America.
