Opis

Uneven Social Policies explains why some policies are implemented more effectively than others, why this variation is particularly relevant within countries, and why some policies deliver votes to incumbent governments while others do not. This book will appeal to readers interested in comparative politics, multilevel governance, the welfare state, and Latin American politics.

Recenzje

'… outstanding … carefully researched. This is a very rich book and multiple conclusions can be derived from the analysis, including the important roles that subnational governments and policy implementation have in linking the policy processes with outcomes.' Silvia Borzutzky, Latin American Research Review
