SUMMARY:Fiscal Federalism in Latin America
DESCRIPTION:This conference is intended to bring together scholars and framers of policy who work with issues about the structure of public finance in Latin America. \nThe UCLA International Institute and the Latin American Center are hosting a conference on Fiscal Federalism in Latin America. The meeting is intended to bring together a small group of scholars and framers of policy who work on and are familiar with issues about the structures of public finance in Latin America. In recent years\, there has been a strong revival of interest in fiscal federalism\, inspired by a range of arguments offered by some academics\, policymakers\, and political leaders that the provision of government services in this region with historically highly centralized government structures would be improved by introducing greater decentralization. \nVisit conference website at www.international.ucla.edu/lac/fiscalfederalism \nCost: Free and Open to the Public \nSpecial Instructions\nR.S.V.P to Diliana Peregrina at dperegri@international.ucla.edu \n\nFor more information please contact\nDiliana Peregrina\nTel: (310) 825-4571\ndperegri@international.ucla.edu\nwww.international.ucla.edu/lac\nSponsor(s): Latin American Institute\, UCLA International Institute
