However, it remains an incipient aspect of public administration and public policy studies. In this sense, this paper aims to explore the narratives and strategies that local administration agents use to justify and legitimise the policies implemented in terms of modernisation and public innovation in the city of Córdoba in the administrative period 2015-2019 and 2019- 2023. Methodology used For this purpose, a qualitative methodological approach was adopted, which can be placed within the perspective of argumentative policy analysis and the so-called argumentative turn in political analysis, as well as the interpretative approach or Interpretive Policy Analysis (IPA).  From the analysis carried out, different types of narratives were recognised in both administrations (aperturist, technologicist, functionalist, isomorphism, among others) with traits of continuity and total or partial ruptures in others. El concepto de legitimidad se ha convertido en uno de los términos más comunes en el discurso político cotidiano y se ha multiplicado en la literatura relativa al gobierno y la democracia. No obstante, continúa siendo un aspecto incipiente en los estudios sobre administración y políticas públicas. En este sentido, el presente trabajo se propone explorar las narrativas y estrategias que los agentes de la administración local utilizan para justificar y legitimar las políticas implementadas en materia de modernización e innovación pública en la ciudad de Córdoba, en el período administrativo 2015-2019 y 2019- 2023. Para ello, se adoptó un abordaje metodológico de tipo cualitativo que puede ubicarse dentro de la perspectiva del Argumentative Policy Analysis y el denominado giro argumentativo en el análisis político, así como en el enfoque interpretativo o Interpretive Policy Analysis (IPA). A partir del análisis realizado, se reconocieron en ambas gestiones distintos tipos de narrativas (aperturista, tecnologicista, funcionalista, isomorfismo, entre otras) con rasgos de continuidades y rupturas totales o parciales en otros.
