This article is the result of a research conducted by the Universidad Antonio Nariño, the Universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia, and the Universidad Nacional Abierta a Distancia (UNAD), called “Pragmatic evidence of the central elements of new public management (NPM) in three municipalities of Boyacá: Tunja, Duitama, and Sogamoso, in 2012-2015.” The researchers examined data obtained on citizen participation through a documentary analysis within the framework of the administrations of the studied municipalities. A conceptual contextualization of NPM and citizen participation as a source of legitimacy is presented, followed by a description of the applied methodology, results, and conclusions. It was possible to evidence a differentiated use of participatory spaces; similarly, their use for the construction of legitimacy was identified in a predominant way in the early stages of the management cycle.

Keywords : citizen participation; new public management; legitimacy; management cycle; public policies; local participation.
