Latin American countries have for a long time been importers of
public policies and institutions from the Global North. The
colonial legacy and resulting patterns of international relations
during the 20th century favoured a course of adoption and
hybridization of political institutions. In recent decades, a new
conjuncture has emerged in which Latin American policies have
started to diffuse South-South and even South-North. Led by Brazil
with Participatory Budgeting and the Bolsa Familia program, other
countries in the region soon followed. The Bus Rapid Transit (BRT)
system and bicycle policies in Curitiba and Bogota have also
reached wide international recognition and circulation. And yet,
despite Latin America's new role as a policy "exporter", little is
known about its dynamics, causes, and effects. Why have Latin
American policies been diffused inside and outside the region?
Which actors are involved? What driving forces affect these
processes? This innovative collection offers a new perspective on
the policy diffusion phenomena. Drawing on different examples from
Latin American experiences in urban local policies and national
social policies, experts present a new framework to study this
phenomenon centered on the mobilization of ideas, interests and
discourses for policy diffusion. Latin America and Policy Diffusion
will be of great interest to researchers, educators, advanced
students and practitioners working in the fields of political
science, public policy, international relations and Latin American
Studies.
