Full Description
This essential Handbook provides an overview of the study and practice of public management in Latin America and the Caribbean. Expert authors discuss the evolution of topics, instruments, methods and research in the field, highlighting the continued influence of past events on present-day politics.
Chapters examine key challenges facing governments in Latin America and the Caribbean, shedding light on the lasting effects of colonization and critically evaluating the application of theories and ideas originating in the Global North to this context. They demonstrate the diversity of approaches to public management in countries with different social, cultural, and historical backgrounds, drawing on case studies ranging from the established democracy of Costa Rica to the enduring autocracy of Cuba. Ultimately, the Handbook looks toward the future of public administration in the region, exploring avenues for tackling inequalities, fostering economic growth, and promoting democratic values.
Academics and students in public administration and management, public policy, and international politics will benefit from the novel insights in this Handbook. It is also a vital resource for policymakers, government officials and NGOs looking to bolster development in the region.
