Summary: The first objective of this study is to answer two questions that, in principle, seem immediate: Do you what kind of market is the political market?, Which is proposed as descriptive hypothesis that the political market operates in the manner of the imperfect markets, away from liberal market, or ideal of free competition, and tends toward the model of oligopoly; this proposal, albeit in relative terms soon, requires answering the following question: Do you by quéfimciona as sifuera an oligopoly?, and proposal explanatory hypothesis is that this is a consequence of the effects of the electoral institution and cónforme is expected to demonstrate through this investigation. It must recognize that there are other variables that are of potential interest to the issue, as can be, for example, those sociological variables that explain largely social peace or potential cleavages (socio-economic structure, social class, gender, religion, geographic location, language, culture, environment), as well as the international environment, among others, which can and should be included to clarify an overview of the political landscape. During the development of this research and, above all, to generalize the findings in the final conclusions, it is proposed that the institution leads to a series of cascading effects that condition, firstly, the political structure of the market (treaty as a mechanism that facilitates transactions policies), and from here, the network of relations between the parties or party system, which obliges political parties to its adaptation to the environment and to implement action policies to provide irmovaciones the political scene, while practicing strategies interpartidarias conclusion, and as a result, there has been considerable changes in the organizational forms and manner of parties, until predict the existence of large organizations that operate in the market in the manner of companies oligopólicas or, térrninos, politológicos, it provides the possible existence of the party's organizational model poster.

Summary: Based on three theoretical flows (or associated with) political science (ie, public policy analysis, studies on the rationality of the players and the problems of collective action and the approach sociotécnico of the theory of organization) The work transcends the outlook prevailing in the studies of regulation of utilities that are limited to justify regulatory policies upon recognition of the situations in which the market is not the best allocator of resources. In this regard, and based on those theoretical schools, emerges the concept of state management capacity in the regulation of utilities, defined as the ability of regulatory agencies to control the activities of private companies providing public services, taking into the high regard for their ability to influence regulatory decisions in favor of their interests given the disparity of resources they possess in relation to the users. The ability of state management does not depend solely on internal elements linked to organizational development of the regulatory agencies, but is also essential to analyze the relationship with other agencies keep public and private actors involved in the regulatory process, as well as the Joint rules that define and delimit the joint decision of those players. Based on a comparative analysis with telecommunications services, water, natural gas and electricity in Argentina between 1990 and 2001, the work explains, in an institutional context of equal quality, the impact of different levels of state management capacity in the field regulation on the protection of users' rights.

Summary: This research shows the evolution of administrative law Colombian from an evolutionary perspective, that is a process that begins at the time of Spanish domination, not as it has always shown, as a phenomenon that originates in 1914 to introduce the model French control, with the importunación of the State Council, as a special judge of the Administration. Our proposal is to be understood that the control over the power surge in Indian law, and particularly with the implementation of this order the principles of Science of Police. This interpretation causes our administrative law takes four years, and is a subsystem that has been nurtured legal few lines of Spanish, French and later in English today. The traditional view, afrancesada opaque other influences, such as employment Spanish heritage was very clear in the nineteenth century and part of the century, because we operate with legal forms from Spain, such as remedies against acts of the administration, it later became the Public Shares.

Summary: In the area of analysis of the institutions of communal resources, the stage of the assessment of these institutions to achieve sustainable development in the management of natural resources they use, has been the least studied and treated. What is discussed in this investigation so far is how efforts to improve the management of natural resources often focus on the technical characteristics of the farm or conservation of resources and will deal only superficially of social structures and institutional capacities needed to the management of these resources in a more sustainable and equitable manner, hence the importance of considering the evolution of community institutions in the process of public policy towards sustainability.
