Implementation failures of social development programs; a complexity approach

Abstract

This research work analyzes the failures of the implementation of public policies in the current context with the classic approaches, to then determine how a non-conventional definition where elements of the complex paradigm are taken. The research is of a documentary and comparative nature where different definitions and approaches of some authors are analyzed to contrast them with the definition reached by determining the elements of complexity. Likewise, determine the authors who have indications of the use of the complex approach from their own perspectives. These definitions are analyzed in order to detect the failures in social development programs, not only in the implementation, but also in the design, and this will serve to improve their functioning and thus achieve the objectives for which they were created, since in reality we continue to see and experience the persistence of these public problems.
