Abstract

Este libro analiza cuatro areas importantes de reforma institucional: las instituciones politicas y la organizacion del Estado; las instituciones fiscales, como las dedicadas a presupuestos, impuestos y descentralizacion; las instituciones publicas a cargo de las politicas economicas sectoriales (financieras, industriales y de infraestructura); y las instituciones del sector social (pensiones, proteccion social y educacion). En cada una de estas areas, los autores resumen los objetivos de la reforma, describen y miden su alcance, evaluan los resultados principales e identifican los obstaculos a la implementacion, en especial los de naturaleza institucional.

Abstract

Latin America suffered a profound state crisis in the 1980's, which prompted not only the wave of macroeconomic and deregulation reforms known as the Washington Consensus, but also a wide variety of institutional or ""second generation"" reforms. The State of State Reform in Latin America reviews and assesses the outcomes of these less studied institutional reforms. This book examines four major areas of institutional reform: a) political institutions and the state organization; b) fiscal institutions, such as budget, tax and decentralization institutions; c) public institutions in charge of...

Abstract

This book explores a new method of monitoring the quality of urban life, combining objective and subjective information to assess quality of life by using the market price of housing and individuals' life satisfaction in six Latin American cities: Bogota, Buenos Aires, Lima, Medellin, Montevideo and San Jose. Housing prices show how the market values characteristics of not only a house itself, but also its surroundings. Life satisfaction, though less measurable, can be approximated using a simple survey question. Those measurements can be used to answer questions such as the following:. What

Abstract

For decades, the prevailing sentiment was that since geography is unchangeable, there is no reason why public policies should take it into account. In fact, charges that geographic interpretations of development were deterministic, or even racist, made the subject a virtual taboo in academic and policymaking circles alike. Is Geography Destiny? Challenges that premise and joins a growing body of literature studying the links between geography and development.Focusing on Latin America, the book argues that based on a better understanding of geography, public policy can help control or channel i
