Overview

Examining in closer detail the experiences of the ten countries that form the basis of the strategy developed in Volume 1, this volume appraises and contrasts the successes of South Korea, Botswana, Zimbabwe, and Peru with the failures of Brazil, Ghana, Jamaica, and the Philippines in protecting vulnerable populations—children and infants—during economic adjustment. Sri Lanka and Chile are also considered.

Editorial Reviews

"A unique contribution to the problems of economic growth of the Third World countries....The authors make a very convincing argument in favor of emphasizing human concerns in regard to economic disasters. They have successfully used the cross-cultural comparison model, and offer hard data in support of their arguments in this well-organized study."—Choice
