To address this issue, this book builds on the results of a comparative study of political institutions, policymaking processes, and policy outcomes in eight Latin American countries. The volume benefits from both micro detail on the intricacies of policymaking in individual countries and a broad cross-country interdisciplinary analysis of the process in the region. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe country studies demonstrate a deep knowledge of the specific historical dynamics and idiosyncratic structural factors at play in each case, while focusing on the effects of political institutions as viewed through a common analytical lens founded in game theory and institutional analysis. This book should become a staple on the syllabus of any class on Latin American politics or institutional politics and important background reading in many classes on development economics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ernesto Stein\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 159782061X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781597820615\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e David Rockefeller Center for Latin American S\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 500\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.49lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.89h x 6.07w x 1.00d","brand":"Ernesto Stein","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48088612700415,"sku":"9781597820615","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3549f82c-733a-449a-81c2-75af0f4e6974.jpg?v=1769105732","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/policymaking-in-latin-america-ernesto-stein-9781597820615","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
