Public Policies in the Archetype of Democratic Governance

The article analyzes the relevance that public policies have in the democratic governance's procedures, in which the process of power relates the society, the State, citizens and market in a complex way until edify processes connected with the public management which has as target to asseverate the functionality of associated life over the base of attention and solution of public problems. In order to achieve this goal, the political and economic agreements are fundamental to aloud that the courses of government action to be, not a result of vertical postures which respond more to an authoritarian vision of power, which takes place when contemporary societies as well as citizen mobilizations that define them, are the most constant tendency which reflects how the power exercise has public dimensions that originate horizontal relations that combines actors, networks, and strategies that make pressure in order to not be excluded from the decision making and the distribution of public resources, which feed the programs to route the development of productivity activities that have market economy and public action as an axis. It is emphasized that the organized intervention of civil society in the institutional agendas, and the adoption of policies has transformed the ways through which power is used to generate results by means of cooperation, coordination and joint responsibility, and in that way, public direction is the result of new interactions that simultaneously sustain the correlation of forces in the public space, since this is plural, diverse and interdependent. In this sense, the government processes need to be more open and deliberative in order to fortify the spirit and content of democracy, understood as the way that allows solving, in the most including and peaceful form, collective problems. The document emphasizes that the value of democracy also depends from institutional adjustments that are formalized considering the increasing demands, limited resources and interested actors, in an active way, in public issues; which means that they are not a monopoly of the constitutive authority, but they have civic and social amplitude that is fortified as it increases the citizen participation in the processes of public policies. In this logic, they are reclaimed by diverse public form society; issue, that orders the necessity of building a bridge of communication and collaboration between the "public of the society and public of the State" in order to achieve that design and implementation of public policies to be interactive. Another relevant point in this paper is that the collective goals demand that the articulation of interests has to be guaranteed, not by centralized practices, but with a democratic scope that allows politics as a result of open discussions and arguments, which are consistent with a form of government that responds to citizens by the design of institutional ways, that stimulate the cooperation of society organizations in the management of common matters.
