And yet, their policy innovations are rarely found in textbooks. This book addresses that gap, providing a fascinating and wide-ranging exploration of both the history of "looking down" at Latin America and the political, economic, and cultural "lessons" (including successes, failures, and unintended consequences) that should inform important policy discussions around the world."...pub. desc. 1528 Historia social 103 Ciencia Política América Latina Historia 272 Política social América Latina 10160 Política social 12379 Bowman, Kirk, lcc BK dpf 0 0 0 0 RR BJB BJB RR 2020-07-30 0 100 F 1414 A769l 2014 00000144082 2020-07-30 00:00:00 1 2020-07-30 BK
