    Este trabajo tiene por tema central la idea de la “Totalidad del Gobierno”, concepto que hace referencia a uno de los enfoques seguidos en la segunda generación de reformas al sector público tras dos décadas de transformaciones con la Nueva Gestión Pública. En el artículo, se expone en que consiste este nuevo enfoque y las razones por las que surge; se estudia, desde una perspectiva estructural, cultural y basada en un mito, cómo se ha desarrollado este esquema al interior de la reflexión teórica. También se analiza la dinámica y los potenciales efectos de las medidas adoptadas y se ponen de relieve algunas de las asignaturas pendientes de este enfoque, como es el caso de la rendición de cuentas y el manejo de riesgos, así como la división de trabajo y su especialización. El artículo es básicamente explorativo conceptual, pero también echa mano de estudios y observaciones empíricas reunidas en Australia, Nueva Zelanda, el Reino Unido y Canadá.

    This paper focuses on the concept “whole of government” which is kind of a critical category for the so called “second generation” reforms inspired by the transformations proposed by the New Public Management. In this article there is an exposition of this new concept, trying to address it through a structural and cultural analysis. In this way, we analyze the effects of some of the reforms implemented through this framework stressing several of the critical limitations of it: accountability, risk management, work division and specialization. This paper is basically conceptual and exploratory, but it used the empirical observations of the effects of these reforms in Australia, New Zealand, UK and Canada.
