Abstract

Only a few months after its victory in the elections to the Galician Parliament, the Popular Party dismantled the program of nursery schools named "Galescolas", which had been launched by the previous bipartisan government formed by the Socialist Party of Galicia, and the Galician Nationalist Bloc. Within the context of research on termination of public policy, this paper examines the end of the program. However, despite being a case study, the analysis progresses in developing a new conceptual framework from variables already used by the specialized literature. As a result, this paper presents the application of this conceptual framework for the completion of the program of "Galescolas", and its subsequent replacement by another named "Galiña Azul". Beyond the conclusions for the case analysis, the article demonstrates the explanatory power of the proposed scheme that is presented as a starting point for developing hypotheses in future research.
