Description
During the 1980s many developing countries undertook programs of far-reaching economic policy reform. Some have been very successful, some less so, and some have failed completely. In examining these episodes economists have focussed upon the adequacy of economic policy changes but have paid little attention to their political impact. Likewise, political scientists have centered their attentions on the political reactions to reform while neglecting the economic aspects. From this dilemma a research project on the Political Economy of Policy Reform in Developing Countries emerged. This volume is an analysis of the work carried out by eight research teams into policy reform in Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, Egypt, Ghana, Korea, Turkey and Zambia. The teams, led by Robert H. Bates and Anne O. Krueger, each consisted of an economist and a political scientist who jointly analyzed the economic and political ingredients of their countries' reform efforts. This important work will be valuable reading for scholars and policy makers in the fields of development, international, and agricultural economics.
