Abstract: This is a descriptive and analytical study of the processes of modernization and State reform (RDE in Spanish) in Uruguay during the last five decades, which the Planning and Budgeting Office (OPP in Spanish) has either led or played an important role in its design and implementation. Firstly, a three-level conceptual precision about RDE is proposed. Next, the antecedents prior to the creation of the OPP are explored. Particularly, the proposals and advances during devised the period of the Commission of Investments and Economic Development (CIDE) work are focused on. Subsequently, the actions of the OPP in the matter during the successive governments since the democratic restoration are addressed: the guidelines in the first administration of President Sanguinetti (1985-1989); the drive towards "de-bureaucratization" during the presidency of Dr. Lacalle (1990-1994); the administrative reform during the second government of Dr. Sanguinetti (1995-1999) as well as its limits during the administration of Dr. Batlle (2000-2004); and the advances and difficulties in terms of institutional strengthening of the State ("the mother of all reforms"), during the presidencies of Dr. Vázquez (2005-2009) and José Mujica (2010-2014). Finally, some reflections on the contemporary challenges around this policy arena are discussed.
