This article analyzes the Bolivian hydrocarbon public policy of the 2006-2018 period, drawing from the analytical framework of public policy designs and the methodological accounts of tracing processes. This research seeks to understand the formulation and implementation of specific types of extractivist public policies in democratic contexts. The objective is to highlight how the sovereign recovery of natural resources generates public responsibility deficits. In order to address this topic, a causal mechanism, that includes the analysis of the adoption of new policy objectives (placed on the agenda), is identified and established, as well as the description of the means of the policy (formulation), its adaptation to the existing rules (institutional change) and the way in which the instruments are measured and combined at the time of implementation (political interaction) to generate the expected result. Finally, each aspect of the causal mechanism is supported by empirical evidence obtained through the identification of policy instruments organized in a research protocol under the NATO (Nodality, Authority, Treasure and Organization) typology in order to provide external and internal validation for the hypothesis. Bolivia is selected from a set of typical cases with the selection criteria centered on the relationship between the proposed cause and expected effect. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objective of this article is to propose a model for the empirical analysis of policy learning. The model was applied to a particular case, Coahuila Institute for Access to Public Information (icai) of Mexico. To analyze the case, a qualitative methodology was followed, based on semi-structured interviews and a focus group with officials from that institute. The analysis model allowed to know three key aspects of public policy learning: first, the documentary analysis allowed to know the policy failures described in the academic literature on the issue of transparency in Coahuila; second, the interviews and the focus group detected how learning generated adjustments to the policy instruments used to comply with the objectives of the pubic transparency policy, as well as to know about the introduction of some new instruments; and third, the model helped detect and systematize the mechanisms and tools used by the icai to learn about the implementation of their own public transparency policy.

This article analyzes how the enabling conditions of the energy policy of a developing country such as Argentina, are crucial for the deployment of renewable energy investments. The conclusions highlights that the low institutional quality of the country shapes enabling conditions and reduce effect of the instruments of the energy policy, dropping incentives for investment in renewable technologies in the country. Therefore, in order to promote renewable technologies investments efficiently, the institutional framework of countries must be seriously improved. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the last years, there has been an appreciation of the role of the state, which coexists with strong awareness of their difficulties and constraints to solve different social problems. To adopt and crystallize reform strategies aimed at improving state capacities, and be optimistic about their results, it is necessary to generate knowledge about the factors that condition them. This paper points out that public policy instruments are a key factor of state capacities. Thus, from a case study in 2010 on water policy in the province of Buenos Aires (Argentina), the work shows how public policy instruments determine the strengthening of state capabilities and presents a series of guidelines at nurturing future state reform strategies.
