    El objetivo de este artículo es compartir con nuevos usuarios de indicadores de gobernanza para el análisis comparativo de políticas públicas algunas fortalezas y debilidades de la construcción de estos datos, así como aspectos relevantes de su evolución en el tiempo, como la incorporación de los llamados «indicadores de segunda generación», que se centran en aspectos específicos de la gobernanza, sus efectos en el bienestar social, así como la transparencia del proceso de creación de estas evidencias y su reproducibilidad. Entre los desafíos de la producción y el empleo de indicadores globales de gobernanza se subrayan los relativos a la operacionalización de este concepto abstracto. Asimismo, el artículo anima a explotar de forma creativa los diversos indicadores de gobernanza disponibles en la actualidad, en ensayos, trabajos de consultoría e investigaciones en el campo del análisis de políticas en perspectiva comparada.

    The purpose of this article is to share with new users of governance indicators for comparative policy analysis some strengths and pitfalls of the construction of these data, along with relevant features of their evolution over time, such as the addition of the so-called “second-generation indicators”, which are focused on specific aspects of governance, their effects on social welfare, along with transparency issues in the process by which these indicators are created and their replication. Among the challenges of the production and usage of global governance indicators, emphasis is made on those related to the operationalization of the abstract concept of governance. Furthermore, the article encourages the creative exploitation of the array of governance indicators available today when drafting essays and doing consultancy work and research in the field of comparative policy analysis.
