Análisis del entorno gobernanza y político-legal para el estudio del estado actual y balance de los archivos en Colombia

Abstract

This research arises from the need to define the scope of archival governance in Colombia, a topic that has been scarcely developed from a national perspective. The core issue lies in the lack of a comprehensive understanding of the governance and political-legal environment, which should integrate both theoretical and practical aspects of records management with broader public decision-making and administrative processes. Using a qualitative approach and a descriptive-analytical design, the study employed documentary analysis—drawing from sources such as the Integrated Planning and Management Model (MIPG) and the Single Form for Reporting Management Progress (FURAG)—as well as interviews with experts in archival science and information studies. The research identified the key components of the archival governance environment in Colombia and established a conceptual foundation that supports the development of a governance model tailored to the country’s social context and specific needs.
