Institute of Public Affairs of the University of Chile


The Institute of Public Affairs of the University of Chile is a multidisciplinary institute, created on 13 November 2001, after three University of Chile units were merged: the Centre of Analysis of Public Politics, the Institute of Political Science, and the School of Government, Public Management and Political Science.
In addition to being a centre for Chilean public policy research, the Institute contains an undergraduate program in Public Administration and two graduate programs: a Master's in Political Science, and a Master's in Government and Public Management.
The Institute's faculty offices and graduate school are located in the Santa Lucia neighborhood of downtown Santiago, and its School of Government and Public Management is located in the Brasil neighborhood, in a building purchased from the now-defunct ARCIS University.
