Abstract
El presente trabajo de investigación busca hacer un recuento de los principales momentos históricos en materia de implementación de la meritocracia en Colombia, y reflexionar sobre los factores, causas y consecuencias de la incorporación del principio de mérito en el ordenamiento jurídico Colombiano. Por tal razón, ha sido necesario recurrir a una extensa, profusa y heterogénea bibliografía y a una hercúlea labor de revisión documental, en la que sobresalen como características particulares, la dispersión de la información y el hallazgo de una inacabada base de datos estadísticos, que impiden la realización de análisis cuantitativos más acertados. En este contexto, se revisaron los contenidos teóricos más importantes en materia de servicio civil, función pública y gestión de personal en la administración pública; al igual que la inapelable remisión al acervo normativo existente (tanto en el ordenamiento jurídico interno del Estado Colombiano como en las disposiciones de derecho internacional). Del mismo modo, se reconoce como punto de inflexión en el propósito de la presente investigación, el que la Constitución Política de Colombia de 1991 le haya dado la máxima categoría jurídica al principio del mérito. Finalmente se presentan una serie de conclusiones enfocadas principalmente hacia la necesidad de separar con claridad y precisión en la administración pública colombiana los escenarios de acción del binomio política/administración, se propone una discusión sobre la adopción de la meritocracia en Colombia, y por último se señala la importancia de revisar el desarrollo de los procesos de selección por concurso abierto de méritos. Es evidente que esta tesis no pretende ni puede agotar todos los problemas y disfunciones derivadas de la implementación de la meritocracia en Colombia; pero representa un esfuerzo por identificar los aspectos más relevantes y por presentar algunos hallazgos iniciales respecto de la evolución de los problemas abordados.
This research seeks to recount the major historical moments on implementation of meritocracy in Colombia, and reflect on the factors, causes and consequences of the incorporation of the principle of merit in the Colombian legal system. For this reason, it has been necessary to resort to extensive, profuse and heterogeneous literature and a Herculean task of document review, which stand out as particular characteristics, the dispersion of information and the discovery of an unfinished statistical database, which prevent the quantitative analysis more accurate. In this context, we reviewed the most important theoretical content on civil service, civil service and personnel management in public administration as well as the final reference to the existing legal acquits (both in the domestic law of the Colombian state as the provisions of international law). Similarly, it is recognized as a turning point in the purpose of this research, the political constitution of Colombia in 1991 has given legal status to the highest principle of merit. Finally, we present some conclusions focused mainly to the need to separate with clarity and precision in the Colombian civil action scenarios binomial policy / administration, proposed a discussion on the adoption of meritocracy in our country, and finally noted the importance of reviewing the development of the competitive selection process open merit. Clearly, this thesis does not try to exhaust all the problems and dysfunctions resulting from the implementation of meritocracy in Colombia, but represents an effort to identify the most relevant aspects and present some initial findings regarding the evolution of the problems addressed
