Riassunto

Policy Process Frameworks in Practice offers a fresh and critical look at the main frameworks used to study policy processes, with a unique focus on their application in Brazil and Latin America.

Rather than simply presenting theories, it examines how these models are used in practice, highlighting both their strengths and their limits. By shifting attention to the Global South, the book challenges the idea that frameworks developed in the Northern Hemisphere are only applied elsewhere, showing instead how they are reshaped and enriched in new contexts. Each chapter follows a clear and accessible structure: a concise overview of the framework, a systematic review of its reception in Brazilian and Latin American scholarship, and a critical discussion of whether and how causal explanations are employed. This approach provides readers with both conceptual clarity and empirical depth, while also pointing to gaps and opportunities for future research.

Bringing a critical Global South perspective, this book challenges established policy frameworks, broadens international debates, and provides scholars with refined tools to understand how policies take shape and change.
