Summary/Abstract: Public policies are public actions carried out in a minimal institutional framework or in a welfare state. Determining the boundaries of public space is a complex action that depends on the actors involved, how resources are allocated, the request for proposals, the degree of economic development or the provision of features such as social justice or gain power in electoral competitions. Article seeks to outline the characteristics of minimal state and of welfare state from the perspective of public space versus private space and to analyze them flaws and failures. Creating a such institutional construct becomes a challenge beyond ideological lines, as long as, in practice it is almost impossible to establish it.
