This case study investigates the Tax Reform debate in Chile in 2014. The process of formation agenda is reproduced using models of discursive policy analysis. In particular three methodological techniques were used: Content Analysis, Social Network Analysis and semi-structured interviews. Two main conclusions were obtained of this research. The existence of two Discursive Coalitions were observed: one formed by the Government, ruling parties and center-left economists; and the other by representatives of business associations , opposition parties and center-right economists. The study also showed that social networks are a useful tool for studying the formation process agenda.
