This book is about the smallest unit of public policy: the government transaction. Government transactionsrequesting a birth certificate, registering a property, or opening a business, for exampleare the way that citizens and companies connect with the government. Efficient transactions enhance the business climate, citizen perception of government, and access to crucial public programs and services. In Latin America and the Caribbean, however, government transactions are often headaches. Public institutions rarely coordinate with each other, still rely on paper, and are more concerned about fulfilling bureaucratic requirements than meeting citizens needs. Wait No More empirically confirms a reality known anecdotally but previously unquantified and offers a path to escape the bureaucratic maze.
Este libro se centra en la unidad más pequeña de la política pública: el trámite. El trámite –sacar la partida de nacimiento, registrar una propiedad, o abrir un negocio, por ejemplo– es lo que conecta a los ciudadanos y las empresas con su gobierno. Los trámites ágiles impactan positivamente en el clima de negocios, en la percepción ciudadana del gobierno, y en el acceso a servicios y programas públicos de primera necesidad. Pero en América Latina y el Caribe, la palabra “trámite” es sinónimo de “dolor de cabeza”. Y con toda razón: las instituciones públicas no suelen coordinarse bien entre sí, funcionan con archivos de papel y se preocupan más en cumplir con las normas burocráticas que en atender las necesidades ciudadanas. El fin del trámite eterno confirma empíricamente una realidad que se conocía a través de anécdotas cotidianas pero que no se había podido dimensionar, y ofrece una hoja de ruta para salir del laberinto.

In recent years, a number of authors (De Vries 2009, Truckenbrodt 2015, Ott and de Vries 2016, inter alia) have defended that right dislocations (RD) should be treated as bisentential structures, where the “dislocated” constituent is actually a remnant of a clausal ellipsis operation licensed under identity with an antecedent clause. Although Romance RD is a fertile area of research, the consequences of the biclausal analysis remain unexplored in these languages. This monograph intends to fill this gap. Adopting this approach not only solves some issues that have always been at the core of dislocation structures in general; it also allows us to uncover novel sets of data and to provide straightforward explanations for well-known generalizations. Further, it brings RD along with a set of phenomena which are structurally very similar, like afterthoughts or split questions, which have been independently argued to display a bisentential structure. Under alternative, monoclausal approaches to RD, the striking similarities between these phenomena must be rendered anecdotal.
