    Summary note
    "Infrastructure in Latin America and the Caribbean: Recent Developments and Key Challenges explores the extraordinary transformations that have shaped infrastructure in the region over the past 15 years. It delves into the need for appropriate and responsible investment in infrastructure; examines the crucial role that governments must play in infrastructure financing, oversight, and provision; and encourages efforts to appropriately engage the private sector. In addition, it emphasizes the need for infrastructure policy to be sensitive to the social and political context. The recommendations made will be of special interest to policy makers, academics, and infrastructure professionals and investors."--BOOK JACKET.
