Description: The Latin American region is prone to economic shocks which tend to derail development efforts and introduce insecurity into economic planning. Specialists from Latin America and Europe give a comprehensive picture of problems facing Latin America as well as proposals for the best policy responses for minimising these effects, particularly in the budgetary institutions, the banking and financial systems, and unemployment insurance.
