Gobernanza y gobernabilidad en los actores directivos del CONICET entre 1983-2002

Abstract

The following article addresses the processes of governance and governability within CONICET, especially the changes and continuities in the management spaces and internal bureaucracies, taking into account the impact on inter-institutional relations with SECYT between 1983-2002. To this end, we analyse the organisational characteristics, authority and autonomy of the bureaucratic actors linked to CONICET's management spaces and the relations of cooperation and/or conflict with SECYT throughout the period. One of the conclusions of the article is that it is difficult to think of a univocal governance in a scientific institution such as CONICET, where changes in the governance of the actors have been registered throughout its history, affecting their capacity for action and therefore the margins of scientific and technological sovereignty of the institution in the Argentine public research system.
