Overexposed - U.s. Banks Confront The Third World Debt Crisis (Paperback): Raul L. Madrid Overexposed - U.s. Banks Confront The Third World Debt Crisis (Paperback)
Raul L. Madrid
R1,297 Discovery Miles 12 970 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Raul Madrid's Overexposed represents the first in-depth study of the involvement of U.S. banks in the Third World debt crisis. Based on extensive interviews with commercial bankers, the book examines the decision-making process at U.S. banks that led to the lending boom of the 1970s and early 1980s as well as the role the banks played in the management of the debt crisis. Madrid argues that banks, particularly the largest U.S. institutions, played a much larger and more active role in the development and management of the crisis than is commonly believed. A comprehensive appendix contains detailed profiles of the seven largest lenders to the Third World, including data on their developing country exposures, profits, and debt conversion activities.

Retiring the State - The Politics of Pension Privatization in Latin America and Beyond (Paperback): Raul L. Madrid Retiring the State - The Politics of Pension Privatization in Latin America and Beyond (Paperback)
Raul L. Madrid
R776 Discovery Miles 7 760 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

In the 1990s, numerous Latin American nations privatized their public pension systems. These reforms dramatically transformed the way these countries provide retirement income, and they provoked widespread protests from workers and pensioners alike. Retiring the State represents the first book-length study of the origins of this surprising trend. Drawing on original field research, including interviews with key policymakers, Madrid argues that the recent reforms were driven not by social policy, but by macroeconomic concerns. Countries facing growing financial pressures chose to privatize their pension systems largely to boost their domestic savings rates and reduce public pension spending in the long run. The author explores his arguments through detailed case studies of pension reform in Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico, a survey of social security privatization efforts in East Europe and Latin America as a whole, and a quantitative analysis of pension privatization worldwide.

The Rise of Ethnic Politics in Latin America (Hardcover): Raul L. Madrid The Rise of Ethnic Politics in Latin America (Hardcover)
Raul L. Madrid
R3,192 Discovery Miles 31 920 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

The Rise of Ethnic Politics in Latin America explores why indigenous movements have recently won elections for the first time in the history of the region. Raul L. Madrid argues that some indigenous parties have won by using inclusive populist appeals to reach out to whites and mestizos. Indigenous parties have managed to win support across ethnic lines because the long history of racial mixing in Latin America blurred ethnic boundaries and reduced ethnic polarization. The appeals of the indigenous parties have especially resonated in the Andean countries because of widespread disenchantment with the region's traditional parties. The book contains up-to-date qualitative and quantitative analyses of parties in seven countries, including detailed case studies of Bolivia, Ecuador and Peru.

Leftist Governments in Latin America - Successes and Shortcomings (Hardcover): Kurt Weyland, Raul L. Madrid, Wendy Hunter Leftist Governments in Latin America - Successes and Shortcomings (Hardcover)
Kurt Weyland, Raul L. Madrid, Wendy Hunter
R2,440 Discovery Miles 24 400 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Can Latin America's 'new left' stimulate economic development, enhance social equity, and deepen democracy in spite of the economic and political constraints it faces? This is the first book to systematically examine the policies and performance of the left-wing governments that have risen to power in Latin America during the last decade. Featuring thorough studies of Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, and Venezuela by renowned experts, the volume argues that moderate leftist governments have attained greater, more sustainable success than their more radical, contestatory counterparts. Moderate governments in Brazil and Chile have generated solid economic growth, reduced poverty and inequality, and created innovative and fiscally sound social programs, while respecting the fundamental principles of market economics and liberal democracy. By contrast, more radical governments, exemplified by Hugo Chavez in Venezuela, have expanded state intervention and popular participation and attained some short-term economic and social successes.
