This comprehensive book delves into the intricate process of diffusion of the Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) programs in Latin America, shedding light on the significant role played by experts and international organizations. CCTs have gained widespread implementation globally in recent decades, with 17 countries in Latin America embracing them by 2010. The evidence points to a process of policy diffusion as the primary reason for this concentration. While international organizations contribute to this diffusion, the book's central argument emphasizes the crucial involvement of a regional epistemic community. This community not only increased the availability of information about CCTs but also reinforced their legitimacy, playing a pivotal role in the domestic processes of formulation and adoption.

The book comprehensively explores the spread of CCT programs throughout the region, examining the various diffusion mechanisms that aid in understanding their adoption. It delves into emulation, learning, and coercion as key drivers of policy adoption, shedding light on the strategies employed by different countries. Additionally, the book assesses the impacts of key actors on the diffusion process, including the epistemic community, international organizations, and policymakers.

By examining these factors, the book provides valuable insights into the complex dynamics that shape the adoption and implementation of CCT programs in Latin America. It serves as a valuable resource for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners interested in understanding the factors that contribute to social policy change and the role of knowledge in shaping public policy decisions.
