This article analyzes key elements in the genesis and formation of the Youth Public Policy (Política Pública de Juventud [PPJ]) in Colombia, particularly observing its conformation at the regional level through the concept of public policy communities, which implies an interdependent players’ network process, i.e. producers of ideas and images about youth. The formation of public policy is argued for as a historical process of debates, negotiations, and resistance, regarding the images or representations produced on youth, appropriated by a set of active political communities in various scenarios. The proposal unfolds in three parts: a) the main theoretical guidelines that structure the concept of public policy community; b) the background of the youth and State relationship, and its materialization in the PPJ at the national level; and c) the identification of regional scenarios and players belonging to the youth public policy communities, highlighting the decentralization process and the autonomous youth’s local organization processes. This article is a theoretical research outcome, which puts into dialogue the conceptual making and the state-of-the-art surveyed in general, local, and first-level documentary sources taken from players who participated in the making of the PPJ in the Department of Cundinamarca, in Colombia.
