For the past two decades, Latin America and the Caribbean have experienced dramatic political changes. After the so-called \u201clost decade\u201d from mid-1980s to mid-1990s several of the region\u00b4s countries have turned back to nationalist State-oriented policies. This region is also one of high contrasts between big countries (as Brazil or Mexico), middle-range emerging nations (such as Colombia and Chile) and a myriad of smaller ones (such as Ecuador and Central American countries). These contrasts make this area particularly suitable for comparative policy analysis, both for theory-building and theory-testing — policy change being one of the more prominent public policy domains of investigation.<\/p>\n

Policy-change studies, which are of focal importance of this issue for policy analysis and policy design, offer a diversity of frameworks \u2014behaviorist, cognitivist and neo-institutional, as well as explanations of policy change. The latter are mainly derived from incrementalism, which has been challenged by punctuated equilibrium theory, the advocacy coalition framework, etc.<\/p>\n

The 13rd ICPA-Forum and JCPA Workshop seeks to address and confront these theoretical frameworks through a number of empirical comparative studies between most similar or most different cases in Latin America. We welcome contributions addressing the workshop\u2019s focus.<\/p>\n

Questions to be addressed by the participants should deal comparatively with, at least, one of the following research questions and test the theories behind the empirical cases presented:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. What is policy change and how can we measure it?<\/li>\n
  2. How can we differentiate among the various types of policy change? (incremental, paradigmatic, etc.)?<\/li>\n
  3. How can we explain policy change (or stability)?<\/li>\n
  4. Why is policy change long lasting or reversible?<\/li>\n
  5. At what stage of the policy process (formulation or implementation or others) does policy change more often?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The papers must adhere to at least one of the six comparative criteria advanced by the JCPA in analyzing the applicable theories and empirical evidence they present.\u00a0 See www.jcpa.ca<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
