ABSTRACT

The Bogotá Metropolitan Region represents a paradox as it is yet to establish a metropolitan entity. The official discourse on the integration of Colombia’s capital city, Bogotá Capital District, with its surrounding municipalities is at odds with the reality of uncoordinated governance. This research addresses the local and provincial roles of public and private associations in peripheral municipalities, identifying a profound geographical differentiation between public action largely confined to a provincial scale due to the lack of local public governance capacity and the factors that inhibit effective provincial-scale public action and the way private associations have sought to address consequent gaps in service provision.

摘要

波哥大都市区代表了一个悖论，因为它尚未建立一个大都市区。关于哥伦比亚首都波哥大首都区与其周边城市整合的官方论述与治理不协调的现实背道而驰。本研究探讨了周边城市公共和私人协会在地方和省级的作用，确定了由于缺乏地方公共治理能力而主要局限于省级范围的公共行动之间存在深刻的地域差异，以及阻碍有效省级公共活动的因素。行动以及私营协会寻求解决由此产生的服务提供差距的方式。
