    A crowding-out of public values? Managerial vs. Weberian values hi public sector reform in Latin America
    (ROUTLEDGE JOURNALS, TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2022) Sanabria-Pulido, Pablo; Pliscoff, Cristian
    This article analyzes whether and how managerial and Weberian value systems can coexist or collide in different organisational settings. We compare six public organisations in two Latin American countries to study whether public sector reforms imply a clash or a crowding-out between these values systems. The article uses data from 60 semi-structured interviews with public officials of different hierarchical levels, in public central government agencies with different ages, modernisation stages, and organisational structures. Our analysis reveals that even in different settings and types of organisations, Weberian values coexist with managerial ones and with other sets of values related to governance or political patronage. We conclude that managerial values do not necessarily crowd out other value systems as previous studies have found and appear to be adapted to the organisational and national contexts in which they operate.

    Can we learn together? Challenges and opportunities of teaching public administration in a binational classroom in Latin America during the COVID-19 pandemic
    (2024) Pliscoff Varas, Cristián Humberto; Sanabria-Pulido, Pablo
    How can Latin American students learn more effectively how different governments address similar public problems? This region shares similarities in terms of culture and history. However, Latin American students study only their public policies and public administration based on the notion that each administrative system has its own particularities. This paper analyzes the results of a comparative learning experience among undergraduate students of two universities in the region, taking advantage of the "virtual" classroom that emerged amid the COVID-19 crisis. In this context, we developed a semester-long group project with students from two universities: Chile and Colombia. The results presented in this paper show that the activity was successful and meaningful for the students. This article intends to present this pedagogical experience and add to the limited literature on the pedagogy of public administration in Latin America, particularly the application of active learning techniques in a public affairs classroom.

    Public affairs education in Latin America and the shape of the state: the cases of Brazil, Chile, and Colombia
    (Edward Elgar Publishing, 2022) Corrêa Gomes, Ricardo; Sanabria-Pulido, Pablo; Pliscoff, Cristian; Carvalho Teixeira, Marco Antonio
    This chapter explores, from a comparative perspective, the current state of public administration education in three Latin American countries, each with strong similarities and different traditions and emphases on their public administration structures. In doing so, we aim to analyze how the shape and the type of the State have influenced public affairs education in the three countries. We will offer in the first part an overview of public administration in Latin America. In the second section, we will delve into the evolution and the current state of public affairs education at three different levels (undergraduate, master, and doctoral). Finally, according to the analysis in section 2, we will display a comparative analysis aiming to disentangle the particular focus in each country, the differences, and the commonalities to see whether there is a Latin American way of teaching public affairs.
