The article is a comparative study of a series of recent public policy instruments aimed at the devel‑ opment of tourism in the City of Mexico and Buenos Aires. The interest of the work lies in its revealing that al‑ though these two cities have different political orientations, the strategies and structures used are essentially similar, aimed at making tourism into a competitive resource for economic, social and cultural development, through its de‑centralisation in neighborhoods far from the traditional circuits, in order to augment the pos‑ sibilities for tourism on offer. It works from the growing business perspective of tourism as a local participatory process, of governance, and shoes how this model can be applied in very different places, allowing for possible intervention of local authorities in the re‑valorisation of their area as private promoters of tourism.

By implementing various forms of preference policies, countries around the world intervene in their economies for their own political and economic purposes. Likewise, twenty-five states in the U.S. have implemented in-state preference policies (NASPO, 2012) to protect and support their own vendors from out-of-state competition to achieve similar purposes. The purpose of this paper is to show the connection between protectionist public policy instruments noted in the international trade literature and the in-state preference policies within the United States. This paper argues that the reasons and the rationales for adopting these preference policies in international trade and the states' contexts are similar. Given the similarity in policy outcomes, the paper further argues that the international trade literature provides an overarching explanation to help understand what states could expect in applying in-state preference policies.

Resumen. -El artículo analiza los argumentos que los actores institucionales pertenecientes al programa sanitario Casa S.I.S., dispositivo intermedio dedicado a la contención transitoria en la Ciudad de Buenos Aires de personas con una problemática de salud mental egresadas de contextos de encierro penal de todo el país, construían y disputaban en torno al abordaje de la población padeciente y la justificación de estas asociaciones en el desarrollo de su tarea. Para ello se realizó un trabajo de campo etnográfico en la Casa durante seis meses (2015-2016), en el que se indagaron los discursos y las prácticas desplegadas por profesionales y personal de apoyo del programa. Los resultados obtenidos muestran la convergencia de posiciones muy diversas entre los actores involucrados, concluyendo que el proceso de implementación de una política pública redefine los términos mismos en los que se plantea el problema original a abordar y el diseño de su tratamiento gubernamental. Palabras clave:política pública; salud mental; servicio sanitario; agentes del estado; etnografía. Public policies oriented to mental health and social inclusion in the experience of sanitary program Casa S.I.S. Abstract.-The article analyzes the arguments that the institutional actors working in the Casa SIS health program, an intermediate device designed to the temporary containment in the City of Buenos Aires of former inmates with a mental health problem, builted and disputed regarding how to address the suffering population and the justifications of these associations in their daily tasks. To this end we conducted six months (2015-2016) of ethnographic fieldwork in the device, by means of which we explored the discourses and practices deployed by the profesionals helpers who worked in the program. The results obtained show the convergence of diverse positions among the actors involved, and so concluding that the process of implementing a public policy redefines the very terms in which the original problem to be addressed and the design of its governmental treatment are posed.

The federal government makes extensive use of its spending powers to establish programs intended to influence private behaviour in furtherance of public policy objectives. Incentives are frequently used where more conventional policy instruments would not be appropriate or available. However, in many situations, such programs lack adequate legal structure. The author concludes that the minimal legal structure allows for tremendous administrative flexibility, but detracts from effective accountability, and can negatively affect operational fairness. Taking a functional approach to analysis, the author argues that since incentives are public policy instruments intended to alter behaviour, they are akin (though not identical) to conventional regulatory approaches, and so should be subject to many of the same legal principles and structures as apply to conventional policy instruments. The effect would be more open and accountable frameworks for the creation and operation of incentives, which should result in better designed and more fair and efficiently functioning incentive regimes.
