Description
Understanding the Policymaking Process in Developing Countries provides a comprehensive framework for improving policy processes in developing countries. This book offers over 100 diagnostic indicators to identify problems and improve policy content, institutions, and bureaucratic behavior. The author applies this multi-disciplinary approach to various policy issues that are common in countries experiencing under-development, such as aborted programs, policy impasses, and shortsighted initiatives. Real-world cases from Africa, Asia, and Latin America illustrate the challenges and limitations of policymaking in these regions. By understanding the policymaking process, development practitioners, policymakers, activists, and students can develop practical solutions to address the typical limitations of policy-making in developing countries.
