Description: "This is the third volume of the series of International Papers in Political Economy (IPPE). The theme of this volume is the political economy of a number of Latin American countries in the aftermath of the introduction of liberalization policies in this part of the world. In particular, the book concentrates on recent economic performance. The book assesses notions of neoliberalism, democracy and economic policy in Latin America, examines the economic policies of the first period of President Lula da Silva in Brazil, appraises Chile's experience between neoliberalism and equitable growth, considers the possibility of Argentina in the late twentieth century and early twenty-first being a case of disruptive International financial integration, and assesses recent political economy in Venezuela, examining the extent to which political stability matters in the case of Ecuador."--Jacket.
