By doing so, this handbook aligns the study of public administration in Latin America more closely with global counterparts, fostering a foundation for more fruitful comparisons. The handbook is structured into two main sections. The first section encompasses chapters that delve into a diverse array of administrative systems prevalent throughout Latin America, encompassing the primary representative types of public administration. The second part of the book presents comparative analyses of key issues related to public administration across the region, encompassing accountability, public personnel management, policy coordination, and the politics of bureaucracy. In offering a thorough examination of public administration in contemporary Latin America, this handbook serves as an indispensable resource for scholars engaged in the fields of public administration, both within a Latin American and comparative context, as well as practitioners in government.
