CIDE-5312 Co-management and Co-responsibility

The most important transformation companies have gone through in the past 50 years and the "reinvención" processes of State in the past decades has led to the appearance of what is commonly known as synergies among these spaces that were formerly split. The reappearance of public issues as something taken for granted, not only within the government environment but also as a collective responsibility that is not depleted by the mere creation of public institutions has led to the appearance of, on one hand, what has been referred to in specialized literature as the Third Sector, and on the other hand, a series of complex and very poorly classified relations among firms, the State and citizens´ organizations. Disciplines and areas of study, such as new public economy, new public management or social responsibility reflect these transformations. Based on the above, the construction of public issues would be the result of the interaction of these three spheres and the arrangements amongst them would define both the development model, and the government and citizens´ model. Shared responsibility and knowledge become part of the tools to develop public issues today. How do they work? What is their scope? Which have been successful and which have not? How can co-management and co-responsibility be classified? What can be learned from these practices?. These are some of the questions to be discussed and addressed in detail throughout the course.
