Inhaltsangabe

In the 1970s and 1980s the countries of Latin America dealt with their similar debt problems in very different ways-ranging from militantly market-oriented approaches to massive state intervention in their economies-while their political systems headed toward either democracy or authoritarianism. Applying the tools of modern political economy to a developing-country context, Jeffry Frieden analyzes the different patterns of national economic and political behavior that arose in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, and Venezuela. This book will be useful to those interested in comparative politics, international studies, development studies, and political economy more generally. "Jeffry Frieden weaves together a powerful theoretical framework with comparative case studies of the region's five largest debtor states. The result is the most insightful analysis to date of how the interplay between politics and economics in post-war Latin America set the stage for the dramatic events of the 1980s"-Carol Wise, Center for Politics and Policy, Claremont Graduate School

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Between the late 1960's and the middle 1980's, the disparate nations of Latin America experienced very similar external financial conditions. They gained access to previously unavailable foreign loans, first in a trickle and eventually in a torrent. As they borrowed, the interest rates they were charged rose and fell in lockstep. Then, within the space of a few months in 1982, foreign financiers decided that loans to Latin America were a bad bet, and lending shut down almost completely.
