| Résumé : | The agents which, since the Second World War, provided external finance to help sustain Latin American development, are no longer able or willing to do so to the same extent. What measures should be taken - both internationally and within Latin American countries - to deal with this critical issue, in a way that will both encourage Latin American development and avoid a major international financial crisis? It is in addressing this question that Griffith-Jones examines the evolution of international financial flows to Latin America since 1945, along with their implications for national development The book describes how, in each of the first three decades since the war, a new agency emerged (foreign investors in the 1950s, official aid agencies in the 1960s and multinational banks in the 1970s) which was willing to play a dynamic role in generating new financial flows to the region. The lack of such an agent in the 1980s, combined with a reluctance on the part of former investors to maintain their level of assistance, has culminated in an economic debt crisis in Latin America. This makes both evident and urgent the need for major changes in the international financial system. Griffith-Jones discusses the changes needed to help sustain financial aid through existing mechanisms, and explores the need for the creation of new mechanisms to provide the dynamism required. |
