摘要：This text presents how Pierre Muller's concept of public policy referencing is applied to some public policy instruments as analyzed during the 1994 - 2014 period when caring for displaced population. This period allowed the observation of an emergence of a series of images when caring for the displaced that, seen as a whole, make visible the complexity of this phenomenon in terms of public policy. This insofar as how it shows that discourses and actions when caring for the displaced population lack continuity even during the term of the incumbent government, which complicates the caring and restitution of rights processes. The changes in the reference frame (i.e. the collective imagination) when caring for displaced population that resulted from the analysis: from a perspective of harm (CONPES 2804 dated 1995), to one of differential care (CONPES 2924 dated 1997); Then to one of specialized care (Law 387 dated 1997), to finally arrive at one of differential care (Law 1448 dated 2011).
