Abstract

 

This article seeks to explain the different dynamics and issues which led to the creation of the Chilean National Council for Arts and Culture. Using the creation of a new public institution as a case study, the paper seeks to analyze the changes the project experienced during its initial stages. It is argued that public institutions currently suffer from a permanent tension between two different paradigms in the execution of public policy (cultural and global).
