This reissue, initially published in 1984, 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 culminated in an economic debt crisis in Latin America which this work seeks to address, asking the crucial question: what measures should be taken – both nationally and internationally – to deal with this critical issue , in a way that will both encourage Latin American Development and avoid a major international financial crisis?

Access to finance is critical in setting the course for development in emerging market economies. In this innovative study, which provides the first book-length analysis of the Latin American financial sector, Barbara Stallings and Rogerio Studart examine the dramatic changes resulting from financial liberalization in the region. The authors begin by discussing the critical transformations taking place in Latin America since 1990—a period marked by acceleration toward a new open, market-oriented development model, and away from a semi-closed model relying heavily on the state. Stallings and Studart examine changes in ownership of the financial sector and government regulation of banking, evaluate the role of capital markets as a source of finance, and compare Latin America's financial sector to that of East Asia. The second section of the book features case studies that demonstrate the changes occurring in Chile, Mexico, and Brazil with particular reference to finance for investment and access to credit. The authors conclude with a set of policy recommendations aimed at strengthening Latin American banks and capital markets so that they can play a greater role in supporting economic development.

The dynamics of the International Monetary Fund are examined here in terms of how the system coped in the 1980s with the crises resulting from events in Mexico, Brazil, and Argentina, the three most heavily indebted developing countries in the world. Ernest J. Oliveri offers three case studies that demonstrate levels of cooperation and defection in the world of international finance. The Mexican case offers the richest example of cooperation by a Latin American borrower. At the other extreme is Brazil, which adamantly refused to recognize the legitimacy of the IMF as a participant in its economy. In between is Argentina, which took a hard line until 1985 but recently softened its resistance to international pressure. These three countries provide the reader with the widest possible scope of behavior within the confines of an interdependent world economy in crisis. In each of the studies under consideration, the primary independent variable is the system of inter-American finance itself. While Oliveri focuses on separate actors and their roles at different points during the crisis, the final considerations are how they relate to systemic maintenance, the threats they may pose to it, and their efforts to preserve it. Oliveri observes that international finance in the 1970s was anarchic. By 1982, the system was ill-equipped to accommodate the serious stress caused by de facto defaults. What happens when a severe financial crisis threatens this precarious stability? Can the system's behavioral boundaries constrain short-term self-interested actions? The Latin American debt crisis provides such a challenge to the system. Oliveri finds that accommodation by players involves skillful, though capricious and arbitrary, coordination by creditors and borrowers; the IMF is not a manager of an international debt regime, but only one of its players. He concludes that adjustments have indeed been short-term and that at present no mechanism exists to coordinate this volatile system with stable long-term objectives. Latin American specialists, business managers, and political scientists will find this book provocative and informative reading.

Seminar paper from the year 2008 in the subject Politics - Topic: International Organisations, grade: 1,0, LMU Munich (Geschwister-Scholl-Institut für politische Wissenschaften), language: English, abstract: Regularly, the International Finance Institutions (the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund)are critized harshly by Latin American leaders - Venezuela's Hugo Chávez even called them a “curse” for Latin America, and condemned its "shock politics that have spread hunger, misery, poverty and violence to our peoples." The “Banco del Sur”, a new development bank recently founded by Venezuela and six other Latin American countries, is seen as an answer to the IMF and the World Bank. Criticism like this is common in Latin America. Some points are quite understandable: In the International Monetary Fund, which is responsible for monitoring the global financial system, the United States de facto has a veto power. Other Western industrial nations make up for the majority of the vote. The same applies to the World Bank whose president always is appointed by the President of the United States. It is hard not to suspect US political interests behind this appointment: Two World Bank presidents – Robert McNamara and Paul Wolfowitz – came from the US Department of Defense, where they were responsible for leading controversial wars like Vietnam or Iraq. These criticisms are well-known. This paper thus concentrates on the actual work of the International Finance Institutions in Latin America, the implementation of their policies and how they affected the subcontinent. Their influence is enormous: some hold the IMF and the World Bank responsible for severe crises that nearly lead to collapses of nations and for the ongoing underdevelopment of Latin America. Indirectly they are also blamed for the current enormous resurgence of leftist movements, which all declared the International Finance Institutions one of their main enemies. As the measures of the IMF and the World Bank are intertwined, they will be depicted together. First, the conceptual framework of the IMF, the World Bank and the “Washington Consensus” will be presented, followed by a short summary of Latin American economic history from the 1950s to the 1990s. Then the different measures of the structural adjustment package of the Bretton Wodds Institutions, their impact (illustrated by different country examples) and outcomes will be discussed in detail. Finally this paper will give attention to the “Banco del Sur”, a development bank very recently founded by seven Latin American nations that should make these countries independent from perceived Western influence through the IMF and the World Bank.

Using a sample of over 700 banks in Latin America, we show that international financial liberalization lowers bank capital ratios and increases the shares of short-term funding. Following liberalization, large banks substitute interbank borrowing for equity and long-term funding, whereas small banks increase the proportions of retail funding in their liabilities, which have been particularly vulnerable to flight-to-quality during periods of financial distress in much of Latin America. We also find evidence that riskier bank funding in the aftermath of financial liberalizations is exacerbated by asymmetric information, which rises on geographical distance and the opacity of balance sheets.
