Models of implementation of Public Policies in Colombia and their impact in Social Welfare

Abstract

The inclusion of public policies in the stage of public administration allows the search for solutions to socially problematic situations. This tool involves not only technical and political actors, but also social actors. Therefore, it represents a possibility to achieve the social welfare. However, indicators show that social issues have not significantly advanced since 1991, in spite of the incorporation of the new Constitution. As a result, the advances of the policies aim to re-organize the possibility to guarantee the social rights. These advances allow mechanisms such as tutelage or judicial decisions to regulate that the rights could be plenty enjoyed. Beginning with an interpretative exercise, the limitation of the policies should be considered like a challenge to build and configure approaches of implementation in the Colombian situation, provided that these are the moments which allow the consecution of the welfare in the country.
