Public management at different levels (national, regional and local): from governance and governability

Abstract

The purpose of this essay is to reflect on public management and the development of policies in the context of governability and governance, from conception, progress, importance at the time of decision-making and its link with social actors; for the fulfillment of the objectives set by the United Nations (UN). A review of articles that speak of the subject was made in order to carry out an analysis that would allow linking the managerial exercise in public organizations with the governability and governance that results from the political action of public management. It follows that the act of governing is the action of a government to decide the management of public resources, with the purpose of achieving the ends that allowed it, from the political point of view, to come to power to exercise authority; however, this requires the management of governability and governance, both as variables for the management design that must take into account the political and the technical, in order to achieve the efficiency, effectiveness, quality and productivity of the plans, projects and activities that will respond to social demands.
