| Sumario: | This article presents the Multiscalar Public Policy Approach (MPPA), a theoretical-methodological tool that articulates ethnography with state macro-planning to engage in the design, management, and evaluation of public policies from a situated and critical perspective. Based on professional experience in both the academic and governmental fields in Argentina, it problematizes the disconnection between anthropological knowledge and the temporalities and languages of public management. Through the MPPA, the aim is to overcome disciplinary dichotomies and to build an analytical and intervention framework that is sensitive to social complexity, incorporating participation as a cross-cutting dimension. The article also discusses the limits and tensions of the approach. |
