From Economic Crisis to Reform

Více o knize

The book explores how the neoliberal economic reforms in developing countries since the 1980s are influenced by factors beyond economic crises, such as ideology, interests, and institutional frameworks. Through a comparative analysis of IMF program implementation in Latin America and Eastern Europe, it argues that these reforms are not solely a reaction to crises but are shaped by various international and domestic influences. This nuanced perspective challenges the notion that economic hardship alone drives governments toward adopting IMF-style policies.
