Abstract

Governance is a political concept whose legal content can be decoded by studying the legal norms that structure collective decision making by public entities. The objective of this article is to identify the basic and fundamental rules for governance design. To this end, some examples of Colombian governances are explored in various sectors of public policy such as planning, project development, environment, and the provision of public services. The purpose is to contribute to the construction of a technical and transdisciplinary approach to governance design.
