Open Public Policies? Exploratory notes for the analysis and transformation of political designs under the principles of open government
Abstract
Based on a reflection on the inevitable impact of the emerging paradigm of open government on the study of public policies and their designs (policy designs), and on a proposal for a descriptive definition of what could be understood as "open public policies", this paper seeks to identify and explore the elements that must be taken into account when analyzing and transforming public policies under the optics and principles of open government. Oriented to the analysis of policies, this effort could give conceptual and methodological guidelines for the evaluation of policies and for analysis in comparative key. Final exploratory reflections are oriented on the situations and scenarios of change and transit of normal systems and policies towards political-administrative systems and open public policies, emphasizing the potential environment (or ecosystem) that would arise as a result of these processes, and which guidelines towards a new field of analysis for the design and management of public policies, defined (given this first approach) as "open governance".
