instituciones intergeneracionales, cortoplacismo político, inconsistencia temporal, teoría políticaResumen
En respuesta a problemas de cortoplacismo político e inconsistencia temporal, durante las
últimas décadas se han producido numerosas reformas y propuestas de reforma institucional dirigidas a extender el horizonte temporal de la toma de decisiones políticas, promover su consistencia temporal e incorporar los intereses de las generaciones futuras a tales decisiones. Este trabajo es una contribución al análisis normativo de dichas instituciones, analizándolas de acuerdo con su capacidad para tratar los diversos determinantes del cortoplacismo político y la inconsistencia temporal. Para ello, tras una introducción, se presentan los problemas intertemporales que dichas instituciones tratan de resolver. A continuación, se introduce una muestra de dichas instituciones atendiendo al tipo de mecanismos que emplean así como a su grado de independencia, sus competencias, sus tipos de poderes y la amplitud del mandato al que están sujetas. Finalmente, se analizan las instituciones presentadas anteriormente en función de su capacidad para tratar los determinantes motivacionales, epistémicos e institucionales de dichos problemas.
