Public Polices As a Mechanism of State Reproduction: A View from the Public Policy of Youth in Bogota

This paper aims to explore, from my experience as a public servant, the narratives, daily practices & power relationships derived from the Youth Public Policy in Bogota. The article will conclude that the Policy led to the creation of a political community which facilitated the reproduction of the state power through a diversity of mechanisms, actors & territories. Moreover, it became a recognition & identity framework for young people in this city. Adapted from the source document.
