Martin P. and Arturo Nunez del PradoAfter having reached a turning point some time ago, the political, economic and social processes of the countries of the region are currently in the midst of a transition.

The internationalization of Latin American industrial firms
Author: Wilson Peres NúñezThe Latin American countries’ position within the international economy finds concrete expression in the international operations of their business enterprises. Some of these operations, such as international trade and finance in major world markets, are already traditional activities of leading Latin American firms, and at least since the mid-1970s, these firms have been part of a rapid internationalization process which gave rise both to the export boom of the 1980s and also to the heavy private external borrowing seen in the 1970s.

Poverty and adjustment: The case of Honduras
Author: Jorge NavarroThe impact of the structural adjustment process on the level of poverty has been a highly controversial issue in recent years. In this article, a macroeconomic approach is used to analyse the adjustment’s short-term effects on income levels, especially among the poor. Income has been chosen as the chief determinant of poverty levels because, in a market economy, income and related inflows are what determine how much control individuals have over the main factors influencing their living conditions. This variable is also quite elastic in respect of macroeconomic conditions and therefore reflects short-term effects.

The trade union system: Its background and future prospects
Author: Fernando Calderon G.Since the early 1980s the labour movement has had to deal with a series of radical changes in Latin American society and in its own identity. These transformations have been linked to the political changes associated with the termination of dictatorships, the transition to democracy or alternatively the weakening of democratic systems, and to economic changes brought about by the crisis, the external debt, the social consequences of adjustment policies, and the de-industrialization and retrofitting processes.

Shaping competitiveness in the Chilean wood-processing industry
Author: Dirk MessnerThe neoliberal view is that outward orientation and general liberalization should result in efficient factor allocation and thus in the formation of competitive economic structures. Its policy recommendations are therefore generally in the “get prices right” mould.

Improving urban transport for the poor
Author: Ian ThomsonEven though Latin America and the Caribbean is the most urbanized and the least poor of the regions of the developing world, a quarter of the region’s population live, or rather exist, below the poverty line. Many of these are town or city dwellers, Many lower income families spend more than 15% of their income on urban public transport: a proportion which has been rising continuously over the past few decades because bus operating costs per passenger have increased as cities get bigger and car-created congestion has made each bus less productive.

The process is well advanced in a considerable number of countries, and there are few nations which have not embarked on a privatization programme, with special emphasis on the sale of public enterprises.
