by Monica Luengas Restrepo (Contribution by), Manuel Guerrero (Contribution by), Ilán Bizberg (Contribution by), Graciela Bensusán (Contribution by), Carlos Alba Vega (Contribution by)

Overview

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.
