The objective of this article is to present the work that the Argentine National University of Tres de Febrero has been developing in the practically unexplored field of public engagement with culture, based on a research project on Cultural Policies in Local Governments*. This piece of research consists of a study of cases using various methodological tools, such as in-depth interviews, observations, focal groups, budget analysis and participant observations. From 2007 to the present, twelve municipalities have been the object of study in Argentina. This article presents reflections about some of the results obtained so far, which are organized under the following themes: institutional development, objectives, nomination of target groups, and resource availability. Finally, a balance is made regarding the current situation that local governments in Argentina present in terms of cultural policies and which could be some pathways to follow in order to turn local cultural policies into a source of development and a means to construct social bonds.

Palabras llave : cultural policies; cultural management; local culture; local cultural policies.
