Results: 44 original publications with adequate quality for the development of reflection were found. Conclusions: in the process of construing public policies the strategic interaction between the actors is fundamental, which is necessary in virtue of the interdepen-dencies that exist, but at the same time try to go towards their own preferences. This allows for a complex interaction and for negotiation processes that derive from the collective and participative construction.
