The precarious comprehension of the problems prints on the policies ones a stamp of ineffectiveness that overcomes widely the expectations that suggest his texts but it allows that the tecno-bureaucracy should justify the fulfillement of his obligations without one manages to transform, or reverse, the undesirable situations.
