Local governments in Spain have implemented a variety of norms of transparency during the last years, both at the national and regional level. All this normative corpus established different kinds of principles and obligations to all public organisations, including the more than 8,000 Spanish local governments. This work intends to explore the implementation process of the norm(s) of transparency by Spanish local governments in larger municipalities. In particular, our research question is to what extent these norms have triggered organisational and institutional change and transparency performance of local governments. To do so, we use data from a survey taken by local governments and the analysis of their web pages to track effective implementation of transparency policies. The article discusses the determinant factors of this process of implementation: whether it responds to the existence of internal path dependency or to the exogenous establishment of legal norms and obligations. Results suggest a combined effect-both exogenous factors such as legal norms and previous performance of local governments should be taken into account to explain levels of institutional change and performance in transparency by local governments.<\/p>\n
Los gobiernos locales de Espa\u00f1a han implementado normativas diversas, nacionales y auton\u00f3micas, de transparencia en los \u00faltimos a\u00f1os. Todo el acervo normativo aprobado establec\u00eda principios e impon\u00eda obligaciones de \u00edndole muy diversa al conjunto de entes p\u00fablicos, entre ellos los m\u00e1s de 8.000 ayuntamientos. Este trabajo se interesa por el proceso de implementaci\u00f3n de la(s) normativa(s) de transparencia en los gobiernos locales espa\u00f1oles de mayor poblaci\u00f3n. Concretamente, se plantea hasta qu\u00e9 punto esta normativa ha impulsado el cambio organizacional e institucional en los entes locales y el nivel de desempe\u00f1o en t\u00e9rminos de publicidad activa. Mediante un cuestionario espec\u00edfico dirigido a los municipios de mayor poblaci\u00f3n y el an\u00e1lisis de las p\u00e1ginas web de los ayuntamientos, obtenemos informaci\u00f3n sobre el proceso y el nivel de implementaci\u00f3n efectiva. En este art\u00edculo discutimos sobre dos factores determinantes para comprender el proceso de implementaci\u00f3n: la existencia de path dependency interna o el establecimiento de normativa y obligaciones legales. Los resultados apuntan hacia una explicaci\u00f3n y efectos combinados de la existencia de normativa espec\u00edfica y la aplicaci\u00f3n anticipada de la transparencia, tanto para el nivel de cumplimiento de \u00e9sta como para el cambio institucional provocado.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Medir Tejado, L., Pano Puey, E., Vallb\u00e9, J.
