La modernización del sector público venezolano. Reflexiones de un servidor público

Abstract

In a reflective process based on my experience as a lawyer and public servant with more than a decade serving the Country, I present this article in which I make a critical retrospective of the process of modernization of the public sector in Venezuela, referring first to the Presidential Commission for the Reform of the State (COPRE) and in a second moment, I reflect on the need to introduce the theories of government derived from the so-called “New Zealand Case.” Within this journey, I mention a series of challenges from the socio-economic and legal perspective that have significantly impacted government reforms, and that were overcome in a timely manner with the arrival to the Presidency of Hugo Rafael Chávez Frias and the creation of the 1999 Constitution, in which progress was made to embrace the digitalization of the Venezuelan public sector.
