The article presents notes on the processes of elaboration of public policy in peripheral countries, focusing particularly on the one hand on the participation of international organizations through what is called international assistance for development, a phenomenon that emerged after the second postwar period and extends to our days; Andon the other hand in the relevant and substantive role that specialized knowledge acquires in the process of developing public policy, where social sciences occupy a prominent place. In this way, we work in this debate based on the assumption that the configuration of significant public policy processes for peripheral countries is explained by a network of relationships between national and international actors that, far from being linear and simple, is complex and dynamic. As illustrative treatment of the debate, we will outline some observations on the Uruguayan case and the reform process in the social protection scheme in the last ten years through the implementation of the Social Equity Plan (PES) as of 2008
