GAMBOA CACERES, Teresa  y  ARELLANO RODRIGUEZ, Madelein. Tendencias neoliberales en la reforma de la gestión pública en América Latina. Rev. Gerenc. Polit. Salud [online]. 2007, vol.6, n.13, pp.46-65. ISSN 1657-7027.

There are discussed the trends of reform of the public administration in Latin America, in force even in some regions of Venezuela, in spite of the advance of the project bolivariano neoestatista with revolutionary aspirations. The methodology responds to a bibliographical review with some references to concrete experiences of the systems of health. Those tendencies are expressed in: decentralization as a previous phase to the development of more radical measures; explicit and implicit privatization; organizational flexibility and changes in the control; modernization of the information systems; hiring and flexible labor remuneration; customer-centered organization; institutional development and change in the organizational and citizen culture; and financing according to the demand in substitution of the offer financing. It is concluded that the fundamental axis of the reform is expressed in different privatizing mechanisms. The future lines of research will centre on the empirical analysis of the Venezuelan experience in management of the health.

Palabras clave : Modernization of the public sector; public managment; decentralization; privatization; labor relations; information systems.
