Enfoques teóricos de políticas públicas
Este libro presenta un conjunto de perspectivas contemporáneas para estudiar y comprender los procesos de política pública desde un sitio distinto al del conocido “ciclo de las políticas”. Por su actualidad, es una obra sumamente útil para estudiantes, docentes e investigadores interesados en comprender integralmente el proceso decisional de las políticas públicas. Aquí se discuten miradas poco conocidas en América Latina que permiten describir, analizar y explicar los procesos técnicos y políticos que, imbricada e inevitablemente, acompañan el planteamiento y los intentos de solución de problemas públicos. El libro reúne las contribuciones de destacados especialistas latinoamericanos, en las que ellos contextualizan y redimensionan, desde y para la región, enfoques y teorías que se produjeron originalmente en Estados Unidos y Europa. En términos intelectuales, la obra ofrece a los estudiosos de las políticas un vasto y novedoso instrumental para avanzar teórica y metodológicamente en los análisis de los complejos procesos de política pública tal y como ocurren en contextos como los nuestros.
Policy Styles and Policy-Making
Richardson et al.’s respected and seminal Policy Styles in Western Europe (1982) shed valuable light on how countries tend to establish long-term and distinctive ways to make policies that transcend short-term imperatives and issues. This follow-up volume updates those arguments and significantly expands the coverage, consisting of 16 carefully selected country-level case studies from around the world. Furthermore, it includes different types of political regimes and developmental levels to test more widely the robustness of the patterns and variables highlighted in the original book. The case studies – covering countries from the United States, Canada, Germany and the UK to Russia, Togo and Vietnam – follow a uniform structure, combining theoretical considerations and the presentation of empirical material to reveal how the distinct cultural and institutional features of modern states continue to have implications for the making and implementation of public policy decisions within them. The book is essential reading for students and scholars of public policy, public administration, comparative politics and development studies.
Variaciones de implementación
El éxito o fracaso de la políticas públicas depende de su implementación. Sin embargo, en México sabemos poco sobre cómo y porqué una políticas se implementan mejor que otras. Variaciones de implementación explora empíricamente esas preguntas y contribuye a ampliar nuestro conocimiento sobre la materia. A partir del análisis riguroso de ocho casos de políticas y programas públicos federales, este libro identifica y discute los factores políticos, administrativos e institucionales que condicionan los procesos de implementación en México. Los hallazgos del volumen contribuyen a enriquecer las discusiones internacionales contemporáneas sobre el tema, así como a plantear una agenda de investigación específica para el mundo hispanohablante.
Performance Budgeting Reform
Using theoretical frameworks to explore the political, organizational, and cultural dynamics of performance budgeting, this book examines the adoption of performance budgeting in a variety of countries, how it has been implemented, and why it succeeded or failed. Chapters include case studies from a wide range of continents and regions including the U.S., Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East. Each case study pays careful attention to the unique historical, political, and cultural contexts of reform and closely examines how performance informed the budgetary process. Chapters investigate theory-driven analysis, focusing on common themes related to international ...
Policy analysis in Mexico
Part of the International Library of Policy Analysis series, this book provides the first detailed examination of the practice of policy analysis in Mexico. Whilst shaped by the legacy of the Mexican state’s colonial history as well as by recent social, economic and political developments, the study of policy analysis within Mexico provides important comparative lessons for other countries. Contributors study the nature of policy analysis at different sectors and levels of government as well as by non-governmental actors, such as unions, business, NGOs and the media, promoting the use of evidence-based policy analysis, leading to better policy results. The book is a vital resource for academics and students of policy studies, public management, political science and comparative policy studies.
The Zapatista Movement and Mexico's Democratic Transition
Transitions from authoritarian to democratic governments can provide ripe scenarios for the emergence of new, insurgent political actors and causes. During peaceful transitions, such movements may become influential political players and gain representation for previously neglected interests and sectors of the population. But for this to happen, insurgent social movements need opportunities for mobilization, success, and survival. This book looks at Mexico'sZapatista movement, and why the movement was able to mobilize sympathy and support for the indigenous agenda inside and outside of the country, yet failed to achieve their goals vis-à-vis the Mexican state.
The Europeanization of National Foreign Policies Towards Latin America
Who shapes the European Union's policy towards Latin America? How has this EU policy modified individual member states' relations with the region? This book provides a comparative account of seven member states' bilateral links with Latin America since 1945, in the context of their EU membership and based on the concept of 'Europeanization'. It illustrates how and why the main architects of this EU policy have been Spain and Germany. In contrast, Poland, Sweden and Ireland, which had little previous interaction with Latin America, have developed their current relations with that region virtually as a result of their EU membership. The United Kingdom and France lie in the middle: they have been influential in certain policy-areas and key periods in history, while they have adapted to what is done at the EU level in others. Practitioners, established academic experts as well emerging scholars in the field bring to be bear a novel combination of pioneering research and cutting edge conceptual analysis on this important but neglected area of the EU's foreign relations.
