This study examines the reform and modernization of public management in Chile duringthefirstthreepost-authoritariandernocraticgovernrnents.Itsfocusisonthestages of public policy and its actors. The objective is to understand the context in which the policy arises and is implemented, as well as the implicated actors’ strategies. It concludes that the public management modernization and reform policy arose as a product of the requirements of the “new democracy”, on the initiative of so-called technopolitical actors. The strategy followed by these actors excludes citizens and parliamentarians from the discussion of the public management reform and modernization policy.
