This pioneering collection offers a comprehensive investigation
into how to study public policy in Latin America. While this region
exhibits many similarities with the North American and European
countries that have traditionally served as sources for generating
public policy knowledge, Latin American countries are also
different in many fundamental ways. As such, existing policy
concepts and frameworks may not always be the most effective tools
of analysis for this unique region. To fill this gap, Comparative
Public Policy in Latin America offers guidelines for refining
current theories to suit Latin America's contemporary institutional
and socio-economic realities. The contributors accomplish this task
by identifying the features of the region that shape public policy,
including informal norms and practices, social inequality, and weak
institutions. This book promises to become the definitive work on
contemporary public policy in Latin America, essential for those
who study the area as well as comparative public policy more
broadly.
