Financing Regional Growth and the Inter-American Development Bank - The Case of Argentina (Hardcover, New)

The crisis of the current global financial speculative order is challenging us to critically reflect about the way this order has been driven and the development outcomes produced by its central political and economic actors.This book offers one of the few, independent and grounded investigation concerning the political economic role of the Regional Development Banks (RDBs) via an investigation of the world leading regional development bank, the Inter-American Development Bank. The book examines the impact on development of what we call the power-balance legitimisation. That is, the RDB's development capacity - via its technical, political and financial interventions - to frame policy alternatives, absorb opposition forces and justify a particular direction of development, all in order to legitimizes a specific political economic projects led by market-led pro-reform coalitions aligned with global financial forces and financial guidelines of development Applying a version of the new International Political Economy (new IPE) approach, Vivares traces the dynamics of the Latin American political economy of financing development, situating the IDB's development mission and role within the framework of globalisation, regionalism and multilateralism. This book examines the structural forces shaping the nature of the IDB and its role in the region throughout the period of the internationalisation of production and globalisation of development financing. In so doing, it draws particular attention to the IDB's changing development mandate and its interventions in the region in relation to its hemispheric, regional and global commitments, revealing the dynamics of its technical, financial and political capabilities.
