La gestión pública en el Perú en perspectiva histórica (siglos XIX-XXI)

Abstract

In the following lines, we will review the evolution of what is currently understood as public management in our country. Far from expecting to offer a summary of the subject, we want to propose a first approach to the subject from a longterm historical perspective. In recent years, social sciences have ventured into the subject with a deeper analysis of public management that goes beyond legal formalism and administrative technical terms of the modernization of the state. The great social conflict, and the serious questioning on public institutions and the suitability of its officials, as well as the recent cases of blatant corruption, revealed the serious challenge of the Peruvian State regarding the forthcoming bicentennial to strengthen the social pact with the citizens.
