GENE, Mariana; HEREDIA, Mariana e PERELMITER, Luisina. El carácter múltiple de la racionalidad estatal: ministerios, funcionarios y desafíos de gobierno en la Argentina. Sociohistórica [online]. 2021, n.48, e139. ISSN 1852-1606. http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.24215/18521606e139.
The scholarship that describe the political system in Argentina usually assume the concentration of decision-making and the presidential character of public authority. However, government activity implies mediations and a complexity that this assumption does not capture. Considering the ministries as one of the main mediations of state decision-making, and drawing on three case studies in very different areas of the national cabinet – Economy, Interior and Social Development – this article analyses officials’ knowledge and skills, institutional attributes in each ministry and the government challenges they face in various historical situations. Based on these analyses, we identify three types of state rationalities –expert, pragmatic and sensitive– and show why and how we should embrace a plural conception of state rationality.
