| description | A review of the pertinent academic literature identifies three analytical focuses in studies of policy change. Rational choice- with its theories of incrementalism, multiple currents and punctuated equilibrium- privilege the decision-making process and the rational nature of the individual actor. The cognitivists- with their framework of promoter coalitions, the theory of social/ global references and critical theory- emphasize the presentation of policy problems and the legitimating discourse behind the decision-making process. The neo-institutionalist- with their theories of the logic of the adequate, path dependence and the three-order process of policy change- emphasize the importance of formal and informal institutions in the development of public policies. |

La revisión de la literatura especializada lleva a identificar tres tipos de enfoques analíticos del cambio de políticas. Los racionalistas –con las teorías del incrementalismo, las corrientes múltiples y el equilibrio puntuado– privilegian el proceso de toma de decisión y la racionalidad (limitada) de los actores. Los cognitivistas –con el marco analítico de coaliciones promotoras, la teoría de los referenciales globales/sectoriales y la teoría crítica– hacen hincapié en las representaciones de los problemas de políticas y los discursos legitimadores de decisiones. Los neoinstitucionalistas –con las teorías de la lógica de lo adecuado, la dependencia de la trayectoria y los tres órdenes de cambio de políticas– subrayan la importancia de las instituciones formales e informales en el desenvolvimiento de las políticas públicas. A revisão da literatura especializada leva a identificar três tipos de enfoques analíticos da mudança de políticas. Os racionalistas –com as teorias do incrementalismo, as correntes múltiplas e o equilíbrio pontuado– privilegiam o proceso de toma de decisão e a racionalidade (limitada) dos atores. Os cognitivistas –com o marco analítico de coalições promotoras, a teoria dos referenciais globais/setoriais e a teoria crítica– destacam as representações dos problemas de políticas e os discursos legitimadores de decisões. Os neoinstitucionalistas –com as teorias da lógica do adequado, a dependência da trajetória e as três ordens de mudança de políticas– sublinham a importância das instituições formais e informais no desenvolvimento das políticas.
