description Open government has become a goal for countries all over the world, but it remains an elusive concept. Despite innovative methodologies to assess open government policies, action plans, and interventions in different countries, scholarly research and practical decisions are hindered by the lack of a precise concept and an operationalization. In this paper, we make two contributions to this discussion. First, we argue that the discussions about open government would benefit from taking the grammatical structure of the concept seriously (open is an adjective, government a noun). Second, we propose that, in order to be conceptually and practically useful, open government should be observable. We present the methodology, application and results of an effort to observe and measure open government in Mexico, based on a study of 908 government offices in terms of transparency and participation.

Si bien se han diseñado metodologías innovadoras para evaluar políticas, planes de acción e intervenciones de gobierno abierto en diferentes países, tanto la investigación académica como la toma de decisiones prácticas para promover un gobierno abierto se han visto afectadas por la falta de una definición clara, operacionalizable y observable de dicho concepto. En este artículo realizamos dos contribuciones. Primero, argumentamos que las discusiones sobre el gobierno abierto se beneficiarían de tomar seriamente la estructura gramatical del concepto (“abierto” es un adjetivo y “gobierno” es un sustantivo). Segundo, proponemos que, para ser útil conceptual y empíricamente, el gobierno abierto debe ser observable. Presentamos la metodología, las aplicaciones y los resultados de un esfuerzo por observar y medir el gobierno abierto en México, basados en un estudio de 908 oficinas gubernamentales en términos de transparencia y participación.application/pdfengUniversidad EAFITGobernar; Vol 2, No 3 (2018)https://orb.binghamton.edu/gobernar/vol2/iss3/3https://orb.binghamton.edu/gobernar/vol2/iss3/3Copyright (c) 2018 Susan Appe, Daniel Barragán, and Anabel CruzAcceso abiertohttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2instname:Universidad EAFITreponame:Repositorio Institucional Universidad EAFITGobernar; Vol 2, No 3 (2018)Democracy and Civil Society in Latin America and the Caribbean in a Time of ChangeDemocracia y sociedad civil en América Latina y el Caribe en tiempos de cambioEditorialinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlepublishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionEditorialhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1Open GovernmentTransparencyCitizen ParticipationOpennessMeasurementGobierno AbiertoTransparenciaParticipación CiudadanaAperturaMediciónAppe, Susan5da62b8a-defd-408f-b8af-a6f9248362ef-1Barragán, Daniel467ee588-d6c7-486e-af76-457c1b5157ef-1Cruz, Anabelf6a6ac81-118b-460a-aab0-f27b9992ae60-1Universidade do Estado de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências da Administração e Socioeconômicas, BrasilSanta Catarina State UniversityGOBERNAR23411GOBERNARTHUMBNAILminaitura-gobernar[489].jpgminaitura-gobernar[489].jpgimage/jpeg26734https://repository.eafit.edu.co/bitstreams/289af709-ac55-4f05-8ed0-e788448633ec/download7bfcb253f2e46163eed6724d5b11cdf5MD51ORIGINALDemocracy and Civil Society in Latin America and the Caribbean i.pdfDemocracy and Civil Society in Latin America and the Caribbean i.pdfTexto completo PDFapplication/pdf241014https://repository.eafit.edu.co/bitstreams/973c2a0a-2d08-4772-9083-9627fa32fd84/downloaddb676b4ec812062e864463f9e0c708ebMD52Democracy and Civil Society in Latin America and the Caribbean i.htmlDemocracy and Civil Society in Latin America and the Caribbean i.htmlTexto completo HTMLtext/html350https://repository.eafit.edu.co/bitstreams/1676e326-cd4c-4054-a7bb-cbb84132c261/download6e44b5074540a6b9cc8d29949e4d43b2MD5310784/15302oai:repository.eafit.edu.co:10784/153022024-12-04 11:47:34.332open.accesshttps://repository.eafit.edu.coRepositorio Institucional Universidad EAFITrepositorio@eafit.edu.co
