Review of the book Trends in public policy analysis in Mexico, Volume I and II

Abstract

Currently, the analysis of public policies is assumed to be an essential exercise to improve decision-making and the set of processes related to State action. The type and rigor of the analysis and its findings depends, among other aspects, on the approach and methodology to be used. Currently, there are different theoretical-methodological visions on how to understand, study, analyze and put public policy into practice that go beyond the sequential model. Proposals that suggest new ways to address the complexity of public action. Precisely the works titled “Trends in public policy analysis in Mexico. Towards the methodological and institutional strengthening of the policy cycle” and “Trends in public policy analysis in Mexico. Foundations and scope of new approaches: beyond the cycle” and coordinated by Dr. Maximiliano García Guzmán evidence of this.
