Resumen

El objetivo de este artículo es compartir con nuevos usuarios de indicadores de gobernanza para el análisis comparativo de políticas públicas algunas fortalezas y debilidades de la construcción de estos datos, así como aspectos relevantes de su evolución en el tiempo, como la incorporación de los llamados «indicadores de segunda generación», que se centran en aspectos específicos de la gobernanza, sus efectos en el bienestar social, así como la transparencia del proceso de creación de estas evidencias y su reproducibilidad. Entre los desafíos de la producción y el empleo de indicadores globales de gobernanza se subrayan los relativos a la operacionalización de este concepto abstracto. Asimismo, el artículo anima a explotar de forma creativa los diversos indicadores de gobernanza disponibles en la actualidad, en ensayos, trabajos de consultoría e investigaciones en el campo del análisis de políticas en perspectiva comparada.
