External Liberalization in Asia, Post-Socialist Europe, and Brazil

by Lance Taylor

Overview

This book reports on a fundamental economic policy shift in transition and developing countries after the mid-1980s. Since that time the liberalization of international trade and finance has been among the principal forces for increasing global integration. Looking at the experiences of nine countries—Argentina, Columbia, Cuba, India, Mexico, Russia, Korea, Turkey, and Zimbabwe—and the often negative effects that liberalization has had on them, the contributors include policy recommendations for often-overlooked problems and challenges posed by globalization.
