The Oxford Handbook of Latin American Economics
Author: José Antonio Ocampo
Publisher: Oxford Handbooks
ISBN: 9780198716136
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Latin America has been central to the main debates on development economics, ranging from the relationships between income inequality and economic growth, and the importance of geography versus institutions in development, to debates on the effects of trade, trade openness and protection on growth and income distribution. Despite increasing interest in the region there are few English language books on Latin American economics. This Handbook, organized into five parts, aims to fill this significant gap. Part I looks at long-term issues, including the institutional roots of Latin America's underdevelopment, the political economy of policy making, the rise, decline and re-emergence of alternative paradigms, and the environmental sustainability of the development pattern. Part II considers macroeconomic topics, including the management of capital account booms and busts, the evolution and performance of exchange rate regimes, the advances and challenges of monetary policies and financial development, and the major fiscal policy issues confronting the region, including a comparison of Latin American fiscal accounts with those of the OECD. Part III analyzes the region's economies in global context, particularly the role of Latin America in the world trade system and the effects of dependence on natural resources (characteristic of many countries of the region) on growth and human development. It reviews the trends of foreign direct investment, the opportunities and challenges raised by the emergence of China as buyer of the region's commodities and competitor in the world market, and the transformation of the Latin America from a region of immigration to one of massive emigration. Part IV deals with matters of productive development. At the aggregate level it analyzes issues of technological catching up and divergence as well as different perspectives on the poor productivity and growth performance of the region during recent decades. At the sectoral level, it looks at agricultural policies and performance, the problems and prospects of the energy sector, and the effects on growth of lagging infrastructure development. Part V looks at the social dimensions of development; it analyzes the evolution of income inequality, poverty, and economic insecurity in the region, the evolution of labor markets and the performance of the educational sector, as well as the evolution of social assistance programs and social security reforms in the region. The contributors are leading researchers that belong to different schools of economic thought and most come from countries throughout Latin America, representing a range of views and recognising the diversity of the region. This Handbook is a significant contribution to the field, and will be of interest to academics, graduate students and policy makers interested in economics, political economy, and public policy in Latin America and other developing economies.

América Latina, entre la desigualdad y la esperanza
Author: Pablo Gentili
Publisher: Siglo XXI Editores
ISBN: 9876296191
Category : Education
Languages : es
Pages : 279
Book Description
En los últimos quince años, América Latina mejoró en muchos aspectos, mediante la implementación de políticas públicas incluyentes que lograron disminuir la pobreza y ampliar las oportunidades de los sectores más postergados. Pero una mirada que aspire a ser verdaderamente crítica y progresista no puede conformarse con estas conquistas, sino que debe ir más allá y poner el foco en el trabajo pendiente. En este libro, Pablo Gentili, uno de los especialistas en educación más reconocidos y además un estudioso apasionado de los procesos regionales, elige el registro vital de la crónica para contar y explicar temas cruciales de los que depende el futuro de las sociedades latinoamericanas del siglo XXI: el estado de la escuela pública, la infancia, la situación de la mujer y las múltiples formas de la discriminación. A través de textos ágiles que logran captar magistralmente una realidad compleja, el autor reflexiona sobre la situación de niños y adolescentes expuestos a la pobreza, con escasas posibilidades de acceder a la educación en la primera infancia. Analiza el panorama de la escuela pública (la falta de maestros, la desvalorización del ejercicio profesional) y cuestiona duramente las visiones que criminalizan a los docentes sin proponer alternativas e idealizan como único estándar de calidad el que proveen las pruebas internacionales como el PISA. A la vez, revela cómo opera la discriminación por género, condición social e incluso raza, de modo que hombres y mujeres, negros y blancos, indígenas y campesinos, aun cuando accedan al sistema educativo, no valen lo mismo en el mercado de trabajo. En un estilo que sabe conjugar datos e interpretación personal, agudeza y compromiso, Pablo Gentili construye un mapa de las desigualdades que persisten y de las esperanzas que hay que alimentar con políticas públicas eficaces, pero, sobre todo, aporta un diagnóstico certero y conmovedor de la nueva América Latina.
