The importance of institutional arrangements for effective public policies

Abstract

This article discusses the importance of the State in the formulation of public policies made up of institutional arrangements. It is bibliographical in nature and its arguments support the need to develop appropriate institutional arrangements for each public policy. Taking this perspective into account plays a fundamental role in guiding research and public policy proposals that allow for the evaluation of more effective institutional arrangements to support the State in the successful execution of its actions. In this respect, this text shows that institutional arrangements support and can provide better results for public policies, since they involve multiple actors, including members of government, representatives of private bodies and organized civil society, as well as those benefiting from public policies. All this involvement culminates in interaction and collective commitment in the search for the best results. It is concluded that this engagement is essential for environmental public policies.
