Book Description
This is the second and final volume of a collection of studies on the role of the state in capital accumulation in Latin America. Volume One included a general historical and conceptual introduction and case studies of Brazil, Chile and Mexico. The present volume covers the remaining countries of South America (with the exception of Paraguay). Together, the ten countries examined in the two volumes represent 89% of the Latin American population and 94% of the continent's GDP.

Book Description
This book examines regional structural challenges on Colombia’s path to sustainable social cohesion and regionally inclusive growth. These challenges can be divided into three main groups: (i) those that focus on competitiveness and the supply side, (ii) those that arise from critical business cycle issues on the demand side, and (iii) those concerning environmental sustainability, employment and social inclusion. The contributions, written by experts on Latin American economics and regional science, apply quantitative simulations based on a unified general equilibrium framework and address a wide range of topics, including: Colombia’s competitive integration in global markets, human capital profiles, regional economic disparities and public and private mechanisms of interregional income transfer. The challenges entailed by such high-profile and long-term issues as productivity growth and climate change are also analyzed. In addition, the book positions Colombia’s experiences in an international comparative context. It argues that many other Latin American countries face similar challenges and provide evidence to substantiate this claim. By doing so, it offers valuable policy lessons for Latin American countries with similar difficulties.

Book Description
Spanish Abstract: Este trabajo hace parte de la línea de investigación denominada “Política Coyuntural de la Empresa” del Grupo de Estudios en Economía y Empresa de la Universidad EAFIT. Este grupo nació a principios de los años 90 bajo el pretexto de analizar el impacto de la apertura económica sobre la industria manufacturera; posteriormente amplió sus objetivos hacia el conocimiento de la simbiosis entre economía y empresa, mediante el análisis de las diversas interrelaciones existentes entre ellas. Esto permitió esbozar tres programas de investigación: competitividad empresarial y regional, estudios sectoriales y política coyuntural de la empresa.English Abstract: By nature, strategic planning models focus on identifying opportunities and threats for a company (based on the structural characteristics of the environment), while neglecting the circumstantial elements. However, the long term is determined largely by the accumulation of short-term phenomena of transient nature. In the management practice, apparently is not granted equal importance to ex-ante analysis of the situation, ie the so-called economic forecast. Indeed, it is not unusual to find in the annual reports, rendered by managers to the owners, the description of the prospects of the business environment. This absence may have a deeper reason, which is the ignorance of the temporary environmental joint of the company, both with the industry in which it participates and in the economy as a whole.

Book Description
Ever since the quest for independence between 1810 and 1819, economic thought in Colombia has been shaped by policy debates and characterized by a pragmatic and eclectic approach. Economic thought in Colombia can only be revealed through the exploration of economists’ practices and the role of economic arguments within broader public debate. This history of Colombian economic thought provides a detailed account of major issues that have marked the constant feedback between economic ideas and economic practice in Colombia during the 19th and 20th centuries. This volume is thus a history of the interaction between ideas and policy. Those involved in these debates – politicians, public officials, journalists, and, latterly, professional economists – established direct contact with what can be identified as the centers of production of economic theory (both in Europe and the US) and entered regional and local networks in economics, but were not just importers of ideas or theories. The way in which they read, discussed, transformed and applied economic theories in Colombia makes for a rich environment for the production and implementation of economic policies that drew, diverged and transformed the way economics was understood and used as a source of knowledge for practical concerns. This is why the history of Colombian economic thought does not fit into traditional typologies of economic schools and why it must be understood as part of a political debate and within a political, social and cultural context that demanded specific solutions to urgent social demands. Through the study of what was taught, when and how, at the beginnings of the republican era, and why and how professional economists came to lead public debate and economic policy making in the 20th century, this book explores the foundations of this permanent interaction between theory and practice. This book will be of significant interest to readers of history of economic thought, economic history and the history of Colombian and Latin American economic, political and social life more broadly.

These case studies provide valuable insights into the difficulty of establishing answers to the fundamental question of why nations grow at different rates, with inequitable patterns of wealth and income distribution.

Book Description
The author presents a detailed analysis of the past performance of a large range of developing countries. They are used to examine the opportunities facing other countries in the 1990s. Analysis of the successes of the Newly Industrialising countries has always emphasized the important role of exports-a view reinforced by the problems faced by those countries who have pursued inward-looking strategies and by the impact of the debt crisis in the 1980s. The author shows how national policies have not simply responded to external opportunities, but have used them and adapted their own strategies to international conditions. She also demonstrates the increasing importance of financing constraints. The reduction in the availability of external finance and the restrictions on the type available places a serious limitation on the choice of trade policies and therefore on industrial and development strategies that can be pursued.
