The contributors are 68 scholars and policy experts from Brazilian institutions (25.7%), Mexican institutions (18.2%), Colombia (12.1%) Ecuador (7.5%), Argentina and Chile (both with 6.1%). Nine authors (13.4%) are from a variety of Latin American countries (Bolivia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela). Finally, 7 scholars (or 10.6% authors) are affiliated to institutions outside the Latin American region (Germany, Spain, USA).
The chapters are composed in a genuine policy perspective but, at the same time, bringing to an international audience the original contributions on practical and theoretical innovations in public policy originated in Latin America.
We seek to have a plural perspective from academic profile contributors as well rsearchers with wide policy relevant expertise.
