Mestre (2015-2019) and M. Llaryora (2019-2023) and identify their role in such processes. For this purpose, a qualitative methodological approach was applied where semi-structured interviews with key informants became the main input to proceed with the diachronic comparison between both administrations taking three analytical dimensions: a) forms of "bureaucratization" of public policies; b) the hiring modality of government agents; and c) the roles assumed by the stable bureaucracy. The bureaucracies associated with this public policy sector have not been analyzed in the specialized literature. The main findings indicate that there is an important hierarchy assigned to the agencies in charge of implementing gender-related policies of administrative modernization and public innovation but a growing precariousness and parallelization of the bureaucracies involved; at the same time, relations of conflict and resistance are maintained on the part of the permanent bureaucracies. El trabajo se propone analizar de forma comparada las burocracias involucradas en las políticas de modernización e innovación de la administración pública llevadas adelante en la ciudad de Córdoba durante la gestión de R. Mestre (2015-2019) y la de M. Llaryora (2019-2023) e identificar su rol en tales procesos. Para ello, se aplicó un abordaje metodológico de tipo cualitativo donde las entrevistas semiestructuradas a informantes claves se convirtieron en el principal insumo para proceder con la comparación diacrónica entre ambas gestiones, a partir de tres ejes analíticos: a) formas habituales de “burocratización” de las políticas públicas; b) la modalidad de contratación de los agentes gubernamentales; y c) los roles que asume la burocracia estable. Las burocracias asociadas a este sector de políticas públicas mayormente no han sido analizadas por la literatura especializada. Los principales hallazgos indican que existe una importante jerarquía asignada a las agencias encargadas de la implementación de las políticas relativas al género de la modernización administrativa e innovación pública pero una creciente precarización y paralelización de las burocracias implicadas. A la vez, se mantienen relaciones de conflictos y resistencias por parte de las burocracias permanentes.  Facultad de Ciencia Política y Relaciones Internacionales - Universidad Nacional de Rosari 2025-07-01 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículo revisado por pares application/pdf text/xml https://temasydebates.unr.edu.ar/index.php/tyd/article/view/692 10.35305/tyd.vi49.692 Temas y Debates; Núm. 49 (2025); 149-171 1853-984X 1666-0714 spa https://temasydebates.unr.edu.ar/index.php/tyd/article/view/692/440 https://temasydebates.unr.edu.ar/index.php/tyd/article/view/692/451
