Abstract

The aim of this study was to carry a comparative analysis at the level of structure and functions of the international cooperation systems in Chile, Spain and Portugal. For this, a comparison methodology based on a theoretical model already developed by the Institute Latin American and Caribbean Economic and Social Planning (ILPES) was used. In conclusion, although the Cooperation System of Chile has most of the components required to be classified as "functional" there are critical structure nodes that were identified in the areas of horizontal coordination of the system and management, related to a dissociation between the strategic level and programmatic and operational levels.
