This paper studies the strategies and resources deployed by two Think-Tanks, NODO XXI and CEP, which actively participated in debate about the Reform in Chile's Educational System between 2013 and 2016. To our judgment, this analysis is interesting, because it accounts for the dynamics of a political process that is key to education in Chile, since it opened a discussion on the role of the state, the market, and society in the supply of insurance of educational services. The results of this analysis, which employs both qualitative and quantitative techniques, evidence that Node XXI and CEP, despite showing distinct ideologies, discourses and political objectives, operate with the same intermediation strategies from society to the state. The differentiation is established, then, by the available and already used resources, which explains its positioning and influence in the public debate and subsequent decision-making.
