"Crucial Needs, Weak Incentives" studies the politics of 1990s efforts to reform education and health services in Latin America. Both sectors were common targets of reform - education because of its economic importance, health care because of needs to reduce great inequities and opportunities to increase domestic savings presented by reforms. The two sectors also have large numbers of unionized public employees, whose presence affects not only patronage but also political power. The book presents case studies of Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Brazil. Costa Rica, and Peru for health care and Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Brazil, Nicaragua, and Venezuela for education. The case studies offer a wealth of new information not previously accessible to the English-speaking academic and policy community. Four chapters by the editors set out for each sector the goals, structure, and outcomes of reform efforts. Формат: 15 см x 22,5 см.
