Análisis de redes sociales, coaliciones, evaluación de programas, implementación, políticas públicas, redes inter-organizativasResumen
Las políticas públicas suelen materializarse a través de programas implementados por diferentes organismos. Cuando son varias agencias las encargadas de llevar a cabo un programa, este conjunto de organizaciones puede adoptar la forma de una red inter-organizativa. El análisis estructural hace posible evaluar este tipo de estructuras en orden a que los resultados de la evaluación puedan incidir positivamente sobre la iniciativa puesta en marcha a través de la red. En este artículo presentamos el potencial del Análisis de Redes Sociales (ARS) para evaluar redes inter-organizativas que ponen en funcionamiento programas de intervención. El manuscrito se divide en cuatro secciones. La primera está dedicada a mostrar antecedentes en los que se emplea el análisis de redes inter-organizativas en la evaluación de programas. En la segunda repasamos los elementos claves para diseñar un análisis estructural, prestando especial atención a los niveles de análisis y a cuestiones relativas al muestreo y al procedimiento de extracción de datos. El tercer bloque se centra en exponer diferentes indicadores que pueden emplearse para evaluar redes inter-organizativas. En la última sección reflexionamos sobre el potencial del ARS en la evaluación de políticas públicas y revisamos técnicas emergentes que pueden mejorar los resultados de la evaluación.Descargas
