It begins by analyzing the growth of public policy as an academic discipline in Latin America, from consolidation in the 1950s to its expansion during the second half of the twentieth century. It then explores innovative approaches to studying key issues in the public agenda, such as defense, welfare, health, migration, corruption, climate change, and public management.
