This important book offers valuable insights into the process of
economic reform in developing countries. It is organized around
three dimensions that are deemed critical to the success of reform
programmes. According to Nobel Laureate Amartya Sen, these key
factors are Reach, Range, and Reason. 'Reach' refers to the ability
of reform to be person-centered and evenhanded, reaching all
individuals in society. 'Range' considers the institutional reforms
and policy changes necessary to implement change and the possible
ripple effects on other policies and populations. Finally, 'Reason'
captures the importance of constantly asking why a particular
reform has been selected.By analysing the reform process from this
particular perspective, the chapters in this volume illustrate the
success of this approach with specific examples prepared by authors
from developing and transition countries and, in doing so, reveal
the breadth of knowledge and home-grown expertise in the developing
and transition world. Among academics, the book will appeal to
those teaching courses in political economy, development studies,
globalization, and public policy. It will also be of great interest
to policy-oriented researchers and policymakers at international
institutions, think tanks and policy research institutes, as well
as at development agencies, ministries and departments.
For the large number of developing countries undergoing significant
structural transformations, one of the most important and
controversial adjustment areas is that of the financial markets.
Focusing on the role of the institutional and enabling environment
within which financial reform occurs and on the integration of
principles of finance with more macroeconomic approaches to the
subject, the book contains case studies of reform experiences in
Argentina, India, Nigeria, Turkey and Uruguay. Themes studied
include the 'go slow' versus 'big bang' approach and the particular
problem of bank-firm inter-linkages in Eastern Europe.
