Organizational structures in Buenos Aires province under the Cambiemos government (2015-2019).
Abstract
This article focuses on the organizational structure policy
of Buenos Aires Province’s Public Administration during
María Eugenia Vidal’s government (2015-2019). The
analysis of policies, government statements and legislation
on administrative reform and public employment related
to the ministries of Government, Head of Cabinet/
Policy Coordination and Public Management as well of
Infrastructure and Public Services, together with the evolution
in their respective administrative structures, enables
us to conclude that in spite of persistent government statements
of public spending cuts, over the entire period there
was an expansion on it in the above mentioned ministries
as well the growth of political recruitment of public officers.
Our analysis also discloses specific differences in provincial
public management vis-à-vis the national government
as performed by the electoral coalition Cambiemos
-to wich former governor Vidal is affiliated.
