Think tank´s strategies of involvement in public policies. A case study of CIPPEC and policy reforms at the subnational level.
Abstract
This article aims to shed light on the factors, both external and organizational, that affect the effectiveness of the advocacy of private centers of expertise in public policies. For this purpose, two cases involving the Center for Research on Public Policies for Equity and Growth (CIPPEC) are analyzed: the processes of political-electoral reform in the province of Santa Fe and in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires. Through in-depth interviews, analysis of documents and analysis of journalistic sources, both processes are reconstructed in order to identify why the first constitutes a case of successful advocacy and the second one of failed advocacy.
