Our principal investigator Mayra Feddersen presented the conclusions of the research «The Progressive Paradox», carried out with Antonia Mardones, who also id principal investigator of the Nucleus.
The research seeks to answer the research question: Why a progressive governement, committed with migrants’ rights, is unable to advance a rights-based migration agenda? They compared the Boric and Bachelet II administrations and reconstructed the Piñera II administration as a transition and politization period.
They conducted 57 interviews with bureaucrats from these three administrations, along seven congress members. Their findings concentrated on the role of the intermediate bureaucrat as an organizational intermediary, that interprets and translated the political demand and the public alarm towards administrative decisions, frequently with low visibility.
A second conclusion is that institutionalization produces ambivalence. At the time it protects previews conquests, it may also centralize decisiones and reduce spaces for autonomous innovation.
Lastly, there is a defensive activation, in which a hostile environment does not suppress discretion, rather, it redirects it from the expansion of rights towards the defense of what has been conquered and preventing further reversals.
