Keywords:
Latin American development; Positional goods; Educational policy; Regional growth; Public management.Synopsis
This collective work provides an interdisciplinary analysis of Latin American development challenges, integrating economic, administrative, and educational perspectives. Through case studies from Chile, Mexico, and Michoacán, the volume critically examines how education functions as a positional good that reproduces inequalities and problematizes the reductionist application of human capital theory in teacher training. Simultaneously, it analyzes the relationship between fiscal policy, transparency, and educational quality in technological institutions in Nayarit, and applies the extended Solow model to understand the determinants of regional economic growth, incorporating crucial institutional variables. The book constitutes a fundamental contribution for academics and policymakers, proposing analytical frameworks that combine technical rigor with social commitment to promote genuinely inclusive development in Latin America.
