Good Government in the Tropics by Judith Tendler argues against prevailing views about why governments so often do poorly and what allows them occasionally to do well. Tendler raises several questions about the policy advice proffered by the mainstream donor community. Drawing on a set of four cases involving public bureaucracies working under the direction of an innovative state government in Brazil, she offers significant findings, addressing debates over the organization of the public-sector workplace, public service delivery, decentralization, and the interaction between government and civil society. | Good Government in the Tropics by Judith Tendler, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
