This meta-study compares the results of the application of an analytical model of the probability of policy implementation (Bressers, 2004) for the case of social programs in Chile and Colombia, following the Contextual Interaction Theory (Javakhishvili & Jibladze, 2018). Each program is also classified according to the level of interaction in the implementation and by the degree of heterogeneity of the task (Martínez Nogueira, 2004). The relevance of the study resides in the need to advance the knowledge of the implementation of policies, surpassing the bottom-up or top-down models, in contexts of high political mobilization and social demand, together with an inability to manage policies to respond to such demands. The results show that cooperation is the defining characteristic of interaction in both countries, having a shared presence in almost all the programs analyzed. This allows us to understand, at a comparative level, the challenges for current public policy under trends such as the governmental political turns in the context of the exhaustion of neoliberalism as a model of society compatible with the guarantee of rights.
