Abstract
Mediante un marco teórico que incluye determinantemente el enfoque intergubernamental, y a través de una metodología que incorpora un importante trabajo empírico recientemente realizado sobre altos funcionarios generalistas de la Administración del Estado, se pretende exponer algunas conclusiones centradas en cómo dichos altos funcionarios ven la realidad intergubernamental española, algunos aspectos problemáticos y propuestas de mejora. De esta manera se realiza una aportación al estudio de la democracia desde las Relaciones Intergubernamentales en España, a partir de un actor crítico, la alta función pública, de cuyas percepciones y actitudes no disponemos de demasiada evidencia empírica.
In this article, the author aims to present an intergovernmental analysis on high public function of the Spanish State, based on the premise that senior officials are a critical actor for the governance of societies and they constitute too a good instrument to know basic aspects of the democracy of states. The research methodology has incorporated an empirical work applied on the Cuerpo Superior de Administradores Civiles del Estado, the only collective of the Spanish General State Administration with a generalist dimension who participates in the formulation and implementation of intergovernmental policies. Besides that, research offers interesting data about geographical origin of the senior public officials in Spain; the need of promoting multilevel public career; and the roles of these officials on the complex Spanish State.
