About this Item

Ein gutes und sauberes Exemplar. - Contrary to the expectations on which market reforms were based, in many parts of the developing world liberalized economies have been characterized by variable i mixes of macroeconomic vulnerability, low investment ratios, increasing interna- tional and domestic technological gaps, and distributive tensions. Most Latin American countries are examples of the economic and social frustrations that structural reforms have generated. These results have revived the debate on development. The United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) has been at the forefront of this debate. This book presents the contributions of some ECLAC analysts as well as research articles prepared for the Commission. Beyond Reforms reviews long-term growth and development patterns and focuses on macroeconomic vulnerability and its social effects. The eight chapters offer theoretical and methodological contributions that share a common focus: how to improve the frustratingly poor economic performance in Latin America, as well as in other parts of the developing world, experienced during the recent phase of economic liberalization. This collection presents a more precise view of the risks and challenges that characterize the new economic era and advances a set of alternative economic policies to manage the open developing-country economies of the early twenty-first century. Ideas that have been absent from the reform agenda over the past two decades are recognized as critical in fostering the improved economic and social performance that liberalization has so far failed to produce.
