    <![CDATA[The acute economic pressures of the 1980s have forced virtually all of Latin America and Africa and some countries in Asia into painful austerity programs and difficult economic reforms. Scholars have intensively analyzed the economics of this situation, but they have given much less attention to the political forces involved. In this volume a number of eminent contributors analyze the politics of adjustment in thirteen countries and nineteen governments, drawing comparisons not only across the full set of cases but also within clusters selected to clarify specific issues. Why do some governments respond promptly to signs of economic trouble, while others muddle indecisively for years? Why do some confine their response to temporary macroeconomic measures, while others adopt broader, even sweeping, programs of reform? What leads some countries to experiment with heterodox approaches, while most, however reluctantly, pursue orthodox courses? Why, confronted with intense political protest, have some governments persisted while others have altered or abandoned course? The answers to these questions are political, not economic, and they are examined here by Thomas M. Callaghy, Stephan Haggard, Miles Kahler, Robert R. Kauman, Joan M. Nelson, and Barbara Stallings.]]>

  <description>
    <![CDATA[<p>During the 1990s, far-reaching reforms in the health and education sectors have become a high priority in much of the developing world. The surge of attention reflects three sets of pressures: the need to consolidate hard-won fiscal and market-oriented reforms; new or renewed attention to poverty reduction; and the requirements of democratic consolidation.</p><p>Multilateral organizations, especially the World Bank and Inter-American Development Bank, encourage and support the new emphasis on health and education reforms. They have dramatically increased their lending in these areas since the mid-1980s and work closely with reform-minded officials in many countries.</p><p> But with few exceptions, reforms in these fields have proved slow, modest,and subject to erosion or reversal. Reforming health and education entails institutional changes and political challenges even more complex and formidable than earlier macroeconomic shifts or the re- structuring offinancial sectors. Dr. Nelson explores the obstacles to reform and the potential and limits of the Banks' roles in helping to overcome these obstacles. She reviews the substantial changes already made in lending instruments and approaches, and identifies constraints within the Banks themselves that are yet to be effectively addressed.</p>]]>
