POST 8: A SUBJECT YOU'VE ENJOYED STUDYING THIS SEMESTER

Hello everybody! Today I'm going to talk about my favourite subject this semester which was "Dinámicas de la Administración Publica Chilena" or in english Dynamics of Chilean Public Administration. 

This semester this subject was mostly theoretical and we only did two reports. In the synchronous classes the following topics were described and/or taught: 

• State Administration (distinction between political system, political regime and form of government).
• Chilean public administration. 
• The regulatory and entrepreneurial role of the State. 
• Structure of administrative organisations at central, regional and local level. 

The topic I liked the most was the last one, as it presented the local administration (Municipalities). They talked about the internal organisation of these, the ways in which they were financed, the concepts of administration and government were distinguished, among other things.

I really liked this lecture because it taught me to distinguish concepts that are usually confused such as political regime and form of government. Also, they gave us key information to understand the functioning of the regional governments that actually administer the region, as they do not have the power to govern. 

I hope you had an enjoyable and atypical semester!
