The Role of Governmental Elites in Condoned Initiatives

The role we present try to show initial results and the feasibility of an investigation into whether career public officials who become politically positioned in a government produce more or less reforms or initiatives by consensus or by support only from his group, compared to government policy positions that are occupied by individuals who have developed their careers in the private sector or only in politics. To this end, we will take as a sample the governments of the Autonomous Communities of Catalonia, Andalusia and Madrid from its inception in 1980, 1982 and 1983 respectively, until today. These Autonomous Communities are the three most populous in Spain and can show the feasibility of research, whose relevance is to see what kind of professional profiles favor the leadership of new public policies. We will build on the studies on the Spanish political elites of Mariano Baena (1999 "Elites and sets of power in Spain), as well as other studies on political and administrative elites.
