| description | In this article, it is argued that public policy studies found fertile ground in Mexico upon their arrival in the early 1990s. They stimulated Mexican scholars to discuss two notions that had been taken for granted in Western countries, but that turned out to be novel concepts in Mexico: policy-oriented governance and governing the public interest. The policy field in Mexico made further progress by considering three features that characterize the country’s political and administrative background. First, the salience of the State as the most important policymaking actor, which, paradoxically, lacks the institutional capacities to become a more effective one. Second, informal rules inherited from Mexico’s authoritarian period still strongly influence the behavior of people and organized groups. Finally, social inequality influences Mexico’s policymaking by demobilizing social sectors that could act in favor of the poor, preventing governments from enforcing the law, or letting street-level bureaucracies apply selective enforcement criteria in discretionary ways. |

En este artículo se sostiene que los estudios de políticas públicas encontraron un terreno fértil en México desde su llegada a principios de los años noventa. Estimularon a la comunidad académica a discutir dos nociones que, aunque se daban por supuestas en países occidentales, resultaron novedosas en México: la gobernanza orientada por políticas y el gobierno del interés público. Posteriormente, el estudio de las políticas públicas en México consideró tres rasgos del contexto político y administrativo del país. Primero, la prominencia del Estado como el actor más importante en la formulación de políticas que, paradójicamente, carece de las capacidades institucionales para ser más eficaz. En segundo lugar, las reglas informales heredadas del periodo autoritario de México todavía ejercen una fuerte influencia en el comportamiento de las personas y los grupos organizados. Por último, la desigualdad social influye en la formulación de políticas al desmovilizar sectores sociales que podrían actuar en favor de los pobres, impidiendo que los gobiernos hagan cumplir la ley o permitiendo que las burocracias en el nivel de calle apliquen criterios de manera discrecional.
