En los últimos años, la literatura sobre organizaciones internacionales ha dado un giro hacia una idea sustantiva y novedosa para el ámbito de las relaciones internacionales: considerarlas justamente como organizaciones, es decir, como constructos sociales con vida propia y dinámica interna. Esto ha permitido, a su vez, recrear y proponer nuevas agendas de investigación para su estudio. Sin embargo, esta misma idea ha partido de un principio cuestionable: observarlas como burocracias que sufren de constantes patologías y disfunciones. Pareciera importante debatir si es ésta la visión que permitirá ahondar en el estudio de las organizaciones internacionales, dado el hecho que el campo de los estudios organizacionales abandonó la perspectiva funcionalista de las patologías de la burocracia hace más de 40 años. En este artículo se plantea la necesidad de ir mucho más allá de la visión de las disfunciones y patologías, recuperando los avances que los estudios organizacionales han desarrollado para el análisis de las organizaciones complejas. Una visión más dinámica de las arenas organizacionales, del poder y el manejo de la incertidumbre como variables críticas de la dinámica organizacional parecerían esfuerzos iniciales indispensables para avanzar en del estudio de las organizaciones internacionales.

Transparency reforms have become a recurrent feature of democratic political systems, but their implementation in public institutions still stands as an awkward challenge to surmount. In theory, the New Economic Institutionalism (NEI) suggests the need to create exogenous incentives and negative and positive stimuli affecting structures, processes, norms and organizational arrangements with the aim of redirecting individual and collective behavior towards transparency. Institutional incentives, however, have their own difficulties and tend to wear out, making them limited organizational change tools. This work is focused on 16 Mexican public organizations in conjunction with other factors -- organizational and behavioral -- which have a bearing on the coordination of an organizational-transparency policy.

The New Public Management has centered the focus of its arguments primarily on the analysis of questions related to efficiency, effectiveness and productivity of government. However, the moral and ethical aspects that go hand in hand with public action are still fundamental to give sense to government activities in a society. A particular focal point in the construction of good government from the viewpoint of the debate on ethics is that related to combating and preventing conflicts of interest of public officials. The aim of this document is to advance our understanding of the regulatory, organizational and institutional aspects to combat or prevent conflicts of interest, especially in the case of Mexico. Our study starts withan analysis of international experiences, in particular those of the United States of America and Canada. ; La Nueva Gestión Pública ha centrado su atención principalmente en cuestiones de eficiencia, eficacia y productividad de la acción gubernamental; sin embargo la discusión moral y valorativa de la acción de los burócratas y políticos, y de sus relaciones con grupos e individuos, continúa siendo fundamental para dar sentido a las actividades del gobierno en cualquier sociedad. Un foco de atención particular de la construcción de un buen gobierno desde el debate de la ética ha sido el combate y prevención de los conflictos de interés de los funcionarios públicos. El presente documento tiene como objetivo avanzar en el entendimiento de los aspectos normativos, organizacionales e institucionales a tener en cuenta para hacer frente a los conflictos de interés, en particular para el caso de México. El estudio parte de lasexperiencias internacionales, en especial de Estados Unidos de América y Canadá.

In today's era of increased regulation and renewed enforcement efforts, unethical behavior and misconduct are a focus of concern among not only governments and regulators, but also investors, firms, employees, customers, and the public. Accordingly, compliance programs have gained prominence in the organizational agenda. A properly designed and implemented compliance program provides crucial assurance for all stakeholders that an organization's personnel abide by all applicable regulations, internal ethical principles, codes of conduct, and other guidelines. Based on empirical experience and illustrative cases, The Promises and Perils of Compliance seeks to discuss compliance not as just another management tool, but rather as a collection of rules, norms and controls embedded into an organization's culture and environment that must be understood when designing a compliance program. The authors propose that organizations must be transparent at all stages of the design and implementation of the compliance program and be prepared to interpret, adapt, change, and redefine the program in action. It is also important for organizations to set a realistic agenda for the program so that gains can be seen and celebrated by all stakeholders. This book offers a pathway to understanding the organizational dynamics any compliance effort needs to consider. It will benefit business students as well as managers, compliance officers, and CEOs and executives at every level.--

In recent years, the paradigm that attempts to understand international organizations as exactly that 'with a life and internal dynamic of their own' has gained ground. This, in turn, has made it possible to re-create research agendas and propose new ones for studying these organizations. However, a tendency exists to view international organizations as bureaucracies that suffer from ongoing pathologies and dysfunctions. It is worth considering whether this viewpoint would allow us to study international organizations in depth, especially given that the field of organizational studies abandoned the functionalist perspective of bureaucratic pathologies more than 40 years ago. This article proposes that we move beyond this viewpoint that focuses on dysfunction and pathology in order to reclaim the advances in analyzing complex organizations that have been made in the field of organizational studies. Taking a more dynamic view of the organizational milieu, of power, and of the management of uncertainty 'as critical variables in organizational dynamics' would appear to be an indispensable first step for studying international organizations.

Y ¿Cuál será la nueva estructura que deberían adoptar, para sobrevivir y consolidar su naturaleza como auténticas Empresas Públicas? En primer apartado se analizan los límites del proceso de repliegue estatal, a partir de una redefinición del Estado y a la luz de algunas experiencias internacionales relevantes. En segundo momento se proponen los referentes básicos para entender un modelo de intervención estatal ajustada, tanto desde la perspectiva social como desde la política y la económica. En el tercer punto, se discute el perfil de la estructura y estrategia de las Empresas Públicas en el nuevo escenario, con sus implicaciones en la gestión. Finalmente, se proponen algunas líneas de investigación que, al parecer, constituirán los elementos de discusión centrales frente a las tendencias actuales.

In the third point, the profile of the structure and strategy of Public Enterprises is discussed in the new scenario, with its implications for management. Finally, some research that apparently, constitute the elements of central argument against current trends are proposed. Palabras clave: Empresa Pública, Estructura, Repliegue Estatal, Estrategias.
