Este artículo hace una evaluación del gabinete a partir de la propuesta teórica de Camerlo y Martínez Gallardo (2017) al analizar cuatro dimensiones clave con base en una metodología cualitativa que combina el estudio de la normativa vigente, los presupuestos generales del Estado, una revisión hemerográfica y el juicio de expertos. Los principales hallazgos revelan que actualmente en Paraguay existen cuatro tipos de ministerios, según la importancia que se les da: a) los que son altamente prioritarios; b) los que son considerados importantes, pero con capacidades más heterogéneas; c) los que en términos generales poseen capacidades medianas; y d) los que no tienen ningún tipo de importancia para la actual administración. Asimismo, es posible asegurar que se trata de un gabinete partidario con orientaciones conservadoras en cuanto a sus políticas públicas. El trabajo busca identificar: 1) cuáles son los ministerios más importantes para el presidente Mario Adbo Benítez; 2) los atributos que determinan que un ministerio sea considerado importante en la administración presidencial en Paraguay (2018-2013).]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[ABSTRACT What are the most important ministries for the Paraguayan government of Mario Abdo Benítez? This article makes an evaluation of the cabinet based on the theoretical proposal of Camerlo and Martínez Gallardo (2017) by analyzing four key dimensions based on a qualitative methodology that combines the study of current regulations, the general state budgets, a hemerographic review and the judgment of experts. The main findings reveal that there are currently four types of ministries in Paraguay, according to the importance given to them: a) those with high priority; b) those that are considered important, but with more heterogeneous capacities; c) those who, in general terms, possess medium capacities; and d) those that are not of any importance for the current administration. Likewise, it is possible to ensure that it is a party cabinet with conservative orientations regarding its public policies. This paper seeks to identify: 1) which are the most important ministries for President Mario Abdo Benitez? 2) what are the attributes that determine that a ministry is considered important in the presidential administration in Paraguay (2018-2023)?]]></p></abstract>
