Prisons and Crime in Latin America
Rather than reducing criminality, prisons in Latin America drive crime by creating the conditions for its growth.
Building Effective Governments
Improving public services, using State resources efficiently, and managing State agencies effectively have been ongoing concerns of Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) governments since the beginning of this century. Government officials are now paying closer attention to the results obtained by their administrations. Citizens are now demanding not only universality but also quality in the services that the State provides (e.g., education, healthcare, and legal services). To meet this growing demand for public sector effectiveness, governments have formulated new laws, created or modified institutions, and implemented innovative management methodologies and instruments.Based on data gathered in 24 countries, this book analyzes the current situation, the progress made, and the challenges still facing the governments of the region in their efforts to achieve more effective public administrations.
Global Perspectives in Policing and Law Enforcement
Global Perspectives in Policing and Law Enforcement provides an exposition of policing and law enforcement practices, challenges, and opportunities in twenty different countries that were carefully selected to represent diverse geographic regions of the world. Each chapter presents policing from a different cultural background with diverse historical law enforcement experiences, varied social and demographic characteristics, and wide-ranging approaches to political leadership. By examining critical data and highlighting cracks within law enforcement across multiple countries, the contributors to this volume have created a framework of policing as it transitions into a modern outfit. Divided into parts, the book focuses on a large sample of countries from Africa, Europe, Asia, and Latin and Central America, North America and the Caribbean, as well as Australia and New Zealand. Such a broad coverage makes this book a critical reference point for those interested in criminal justice, criminology, political science, anthropology, and many others.
Electronic Invoicing in Latin America
The electronic invoicing (EI) of taxes is one of Latin America’s contributions to international taxation in support of the fight against evasion, global efforts towards tax transparency, and the digitization of tax administrations (TAs). Initially, EI was conceived as an instrument of documentary control over the invoicing process, so as to avert both the omission of sales and the inclusion of false purchases. The original idea was extended to other areas of tax control, such as payroll, goods in transit, and new services such as factoring. To some extent, EI can be regarded as the start of the process of digitizing the TAs in the broad sense. This publication addresses the pioneering experience of EI in Latin America, from its implementation to its extensions and impact on tax collection.
World Development Report 2011
The 2011 WDR on Conflict, Security and Development underlines the devastating impact of persistent conflict on a country or region's development prospects - noting that the 1.5 billion people living in conflict-affected areas are twice as likely to be in poverty. Its goal is to contribute concrete, practical suggestions on conflict and fragility.

Construyendo gobiernos efectivos
Mejorar los servicios públicos, usar de manera eficiente los recursos y gestionar de forma efectiva las instituciones del Estado ha sido una preocupación constante de los gobiernos de América Latina y el Caribe (ALC) desde principios de este siglo. Las autoridades ahora prestan especial atención a los resultados que logran sus administraciones; paralelamente, los ciudadanos ya no solo demandan universalidad, sino calidad de los servicios que provee el Estado: escuelas, hospitales, unidades de administración de justicia que funcionen cada día mejor. Para atender esta creciente exigencia al sector público, los gobiernos han formulado nuevas leyes, se han creado o modificado instituciones y se han puesto en marcha instrumentos y metodologías de gestión innovadoras. Sobre la base de datos recopilados en 24 países, este libro analiza la situación actual, los avances y los retos que enfrentan los gobiernos de la región para lograr mayor efectividad en la actuación de las administraciones públicas.
Factura electrónica en América Latina
La factura electrónica fiscal (FE) es uno de los aportes de América Latina a la fiscalidad internacional en apoyo a la lucha contra la evasión, al esfuerzo global de transparencia tributaria, y a la digitalización de las administraciones tributarias (AATT). Inicialmente, la FE fue concebida como un instrumento de control documental del proceso de facturación, tanto para evitar la omisión de ventas como para la inclusión de compras falsas. El concepto original se fue extendiendo a otras áreas de control tributario, por ejemplo, la nómina salarial, mercadería en tránsito y nuevos servicios, como el caso del factoring. De alguna manera, la FE puede considerarse el inicio del proceso de digitalización de la administración tributaria (AT) en sentido amplio. Este libro aborda la experiencia pionera de la FE en América Latina, desde su implementación hasta sus extensiones e impacto recaudatorio.
