Re-democratization in Chile
Much of the literature on democratic transitions has focused on the transition from authoritarianism to democracy, but few studies have examined how democracies that re-emerged compare to those that existed in the past. Examining the Chilean case, this study explores the degree to which the “new” democracy has recovered its former strength, posing a similar question for other Latin American countries. It considers the conceptualization of quality…
The Policy-making Process in the Old Chilean Democracy
Asking how public policies were made in the old Chilean democracy, this article analyzes the public administration reform of the 1920s and the creation of Chile’s National Health Service in 1952. Collected evidence shows that the policy-making process may be characterized as elitist, technocratic, and where the president's motivation toward a particular issue plays a key role for the issue to be included in the government agenda and go further in…
Policy Failure Revisited
The article analyzes the ability of policy failure frameworks to characterize and explain the reform of Santiago’s public transport system. It focuses on the following questions: When a policy may be deemed a failure, what sources led to the failure, and what lesson may be drawn from the case? It suggests that these three questions must be addressed simultaneously to integrally understand a policy failure. The case proposes areas of further inves…
Hindsight bias in expert surveys
Expert surveys provide a standardized way to access and synthesize specialized knowledge, thereby, enabling the analysis of a diverse range of concepts and contexts that might otherwise be difficult to approach systematically. However, while studies of public opinion have long argued that cognitive biases represent potential problems when it comes to the general population, less attention has been paid to similar issues among expert respondents. …
Policy Implementation
This paper analyses the implementation of public management modernization policy between 1990 and 2013, applying the taxonomy by Hasenfeld and Brock (1991). Information analysed in this study comes from 67 interviews with actors who have played key roles in the implementation of modernization initiatives, as well as from official documents, and academic literature. The findings of the study suggest that taxonomy is useful in characterizing the or…
The Welfare Costs of Crime and Violence in Latin America and the Caribbean
The aim of this volume is to carry out a systematic and rigorous analysis of the costs of crime and violence in Latin America and the Caribbean, with a focus on methodological and conceptual issues that are key to an exhaustive understanding of their economic and social dimensions. It presents an economic model of crime that conceptualizes the impact of violence on welfare. In addition, this volume is the first of its kind to provide estimates of…

Poverty and Social Programs in Chile
This article presents an empirical characterization of poverty in Chile during the period 1987–2006. This characterization refers to both personal characteristics and access to main social services. Such characterization will help scholars and policymakers to understand the strengths of the Chilean poverty reduction process as well as the main challenges it faces from now to the future
Poverty Reduction in Chile
This paper analyses the relationship between growth, education, health status, and poverty in Chile. A comparative analysis with four countries is also undertaken. It is argued that long government involvement in social services has been a key factor in enabling many sectors of the population to increase their human capital, making it possible for them to take advantage of the opportunities given by growth to escape poverty.
