Estudio comparativo de las políticas públicas en competitividad a nivel centroamericano

Abstract

The study of the public policy is not something new. Since 1960 the interest for studying public policy has focused in the frame of the social sciences and specifically in political science. The public policies represent a strategy for the administration of State and allow dialogue opportunities between the private sector, governmental sector and civil society. The topics covered by public policies are varied. However, the concern for international competitiveness is due to the fact that it is increasingly difficult, and states need to have an added value that allows their prominence in the international scenario. Then, public policies become part of a strategy of competitiveness on the part of states. Since Central America is a region as wide as diverse, having public policies on competitiveness allows us it focus on compliance with the twelve levels of competitiveness of globalization, and that would help obtain a better reputation both at the level of countries such as region.
