Sumario:Within the neoliberal model of development, Chile and Colombia allowed the private commercial exploitation of previously public goods and services through privatizations and/or concessions. In this context, the institutional framework, supply, and management of road infrastructure were modified, fostering road concessions in both countries. Through Comparative-Historical Analysis, the historical trajectory of the institutionality of road concessions in Chile and Colombia is reconstructed as path dependence cases in order to identify the influence of some Supranational Organizations, comparing both cases to indicate their differences. A greater number of operations and amounts are observed in Colombia, as well as tutelage programs. This allows us to point out that despite sharing characteristics, such as the development of dedicated institutions and multilateral financing, among others, the path dependence of the cases differ due to the greater intensity of the influence of Supranational Organizations there. The foregoing is presented as an alternative approach to the study of public policies and as a contribution to the sectoral discussion.
