This project seeks to answer the following question: how can the state strengthen its political-relational capacities to build more effective public policies with greater social legitimacy? In a context of change and uncertainty regarding the direction of state–society relations, we propose a methodology that combines qualitative research with elements of action research, directly involving the actors who participate in these interactions in constructing the answers to our question. The project is organized around mapping innovative initiatives of interaction between the state and society, conducting semi-structured interviews with their main actors, and holding two workshops with social actors invited to share experiences and reflect on the challenges and obstacles encountered.
