Abstract

In the twenty-first century, public policies face an increasingly complex and intractable problems. It leads to the so called policy failure. Taking that situation as a starting point, the article explores how public policies can adapt to this new context, giving them a renewed combination of collective deliberation and exercise of public authority. The argument, in addition, is tested with two cases that exemplify how to articulate a policy against complex problems as water and the location of prisons in the territory.
