Globalization in the 1990s provided both opportunities and
challenges for developing and transition economies. Though for
some, it offered the chance to achieve economic growth through
active involvement in the integrated and liberalized world economy,
it also increased their vulnerability to external shocks and
volatility.
As a consequence, stakeholders at every level of the development
and transition process international organizations, national
governments and the private sector had to review their strategies
in order to adjust to the new world economic environment. As the
Mexican peso crisis of 1994-1995 and the Asian financial crisis of
1997-1998 showed dramatically, the cost of maladjustment was not
only very high but it also affected many more stakeholders than
before, due to the contagious effects of crises.
This revealing book analyzes the different methods employed to
manage globalization and development. Bringing together an
international team of contributors, including Barbara Stallings,
Alicia Giron and J. C. Ferraz, it will prove to be a valuable
resource for those involved in the fields of development economics
and political economy.
