Abstract

Este artículo introduce la Evaluación Realista (ER) para el análisis de políticas públicas. La ER encuentra justificación en las limitaciones de prácticas dominantes, como las técnicas de evaluación de impacto, para ofrecer explicaciones sobre el por qué una intervención o programa tuvo (o no) resultado. La noción de cambio o transformación de la ER se centra en el estudio contextual de la agencia humana, o la forma en que individuos y colectividades actúan frente a intervenciones públicas o privadas. El texto se adentra en propuestas metodológicas para el despliegue de una ER en la práctica, tarea que implicará un trabajo interdisciplinario para refinar diferentes teorías sobre qué funciona, para quién, en qué aspectos, hasta qué punto, en qué contexto y cómo. La introducción del texto incluye una breve discusión sobre el potencial de una propuesta metodológica de este tipo para fortalecer el diseno y la implementación de iniciativas de política que respondan de manera más oportuna a las necesidades de una sociedad que se perfila para una era de postconflicto.
