Abstract

The national and institutional crisis experienced in Chile since October 2019 and the installation of the debate around a new Constitution, require a reflection on the reasons that led to such events, their connection with administrative action and a new vision of the position of citizens vis-à-vis the State, which, taking into consideration the comparative law and Chile's own international action, require evaluating the inclusion of good administration in the constitutional debate. Based on the conviction that the 21st century brings a new paradigm around pub-lic law, this work aims to question the relevance or convenience of enshrining the right to good public administration in a new Chilean constitutional text, from the perspective of the international human rights, and trying to demonstrate the im-portance of this new right.
