Book Description
A Brookings Institution Press and Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) publication In the last ten to fifteen years, the Latin American and Caribbean region has undergone the most significant transformation of economic policy since World War II. Through a series of structural reforms, an increasing number of countries have moved from closed, state-dominated economies to ones that are more market oriented and open to the rest of the world. Policymakers expected that these changes, in conjunction with lower rates of inflation and increased spending in the social area, would speed up economic growth, increase productivity, and lead to the creation of more jobs and greater equality. Have those expectations been fulfilled? Analyzing the impact of the reforms in nine countries (Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Jamaica, Mexico, Peru), this study provides a detailed picture of progress to date. At the overall regional level, the book suggests, the reforms have had a surprisingly small impact: a small positive impact on investment and growth, and a small negative impact on employment and income distribution. But at the country, sectoral, and microeconomic levels, it finds evidence of strong effects, with some units doing very well and others falling behind.

Book Description
The Latin American and Caribbean Regional Plan of Action on Human Settlements was agreed at the Latin American and Caribbean Regional Preparatory Meeting to the United Nations Conference on Human Settlements (Habitat II) in 1995. It was considered that the Plan seems to remain fully valid in its aim of achieving sustainable progress in human settlements by integrating a variety of development dimensions. It was, though, felt that the plans effectiveness was limited due to inherent vagueness. The current text elaborates and attempts to clarify the 5 main thematic areas that the Regional Plan of Action identified. Those 5 areas can be summarised as follows: obstacles posed by poverty; the necessity for human settlements to become more productive; concern for the urban environment and vulnerability; the need to consolidate governance; and the need to enhance the efficiency of housing sector policies
