Abstract

En la Argentina, el Congreso tiene asignado un rol central en el tratamiento del Presupuesto Nacional. Sin embargo, los procedimientos establecidos se han cumplido, en la mayor parte de los casos, sólo de manera formal. Esta situación se produce a pesar de la presencia de condiciones que favorecerían el logro de acuerdos intertemporales para aumentar la calidad del proceso presupuestario, como ser la posibilidad de coordinación entre actores claves – especialmente entre los principales legisladores integrantes de la Comisión de Presupuesto y Hacienda de ambas Cámaras, quienes, en oposición a la visión general, cuentan con experiencia y conocimientos presupuestarios, y los funcionarios de la Secretaría de Hacienda –, así como la realización en reiteradas ocasiones del proceso de aprobación del Presupuesto Nacional. Sin embargo, la lógica del esquema político-electoral vigente, con un presidencialismo fuerte, líderes políticos provinciales con un importante protagonismo e influencia sobre los legisladores nacionales, sumado a la dinámica de funcionamiento interna del parlamento, con fuerte peso de los bloques partidarios en la toma de decisión y los acuerdos a lograr, son factores que contribuyen a disminuir el rol del Congreso en el proceso presupuestario. En esta investigación se analiza el desempeño del Congreso en todas las etapas del proceso presupuestario, considerando que, a lo largo del ciclo presupuestario pueden identificarse los factores que condicionan y explican su participación.
