How are the economic policies which developing countries adopt
selected and how do they change? Who are the key players in
economic development policies? Professor Anil Hira answers these
questions head on by suggesting new ways of looking at how ideas
affect economic policy. He first traces the way that ideas become
wedded to interest groups over time, and he interprets the debate
over economic development policy as a series of changes in
idea-interest networks, often marked by crises. He then looks
closely at economic idea entrepreneurs. Through concrete case
studies of networks in Latin America, with a focus on Chilean
economic policy, Hira explains not only how ideas are introduced,
but which ones win out in the economic policy process and why. He
introduces the concept of economic knowledge networks to understand
groups of economists wedded to certain sets of ideas, such as
neoliberalism or structuralism. Economic knowledge networks extend
beyond Latin America and can be found in such diverse places as
Indonesia and Egypt. Hira identifies the characteristics of these
groups and shows how they create political action through their
organizational activities and ideas. Hira not only sheds light on
how ideas affect economic policy, but also provides an inside story
on the groups responsible for the new economic revolution that is
sweeping Latin America and transforming the regional economy. An
important resource for scholars, students, and policy makers
involved with international political economy, emerging economies,
and Latin American studies.
