Abstract

El presente documento busca hacer un recuento del surgimiento y utilización de los índices internacionales como un mecanismo para evaluar la eficiencia institucional de los países. Durante la década de los noventa, organismos internacionales, centros académicos y organizaciones no gubernamentales coincidieron en el interés de elaborar índices de desempeno con el fin de caracterizar los países y establecer escalas internacionales comparativas de desempeno. En esta perspectiva, surgen algunos temas de interés como la gobernabilidad, la competitividad, la corrupción y el estado de las libertades civiles y políticas. En este sentido, el documento da una explicación de las razones académicas y coyunturales para el surgimiento de los índices y los temas de interés en calificar. Luego, hace una descripción de los índices de competitividad, gobernabilidad, corrupción y libertades económicas y políticas; se explica su metodología y establece las convergencias y divergencias entre índices del mismo tema. También presenta una revisión de la literatura nacional e internacional sobre los índices. Por último, se presenta el desempeno del país de acuerdo con las escalas internacionales. Al final concluimos que los índices internacionales han permitido una revisión comparada del desempeno institucional. Sin embargo, por problemas de acceso a la información y existencia de estadísticas, estos índices aún son prematuros para permitir una comparación real y objetiva entre los distintos países
