Economic Adjustments in New Democracies Lessons from Southern Europe


Free Download Economic Adjustments in New Democracies: Lessons from Southern Europe By Diane Ethier
1997 | 180 Pages | ISBN: 0333695569 | PDF | 10 MB
Many recent books deal with the politics of economic adjustment in new democracies. However, none of them provides a thorough comparative analysis of Southern European cases. This book fills this lacuna. The first part compares the orientations and the outcomes of the economic policies carried out by the Greek, Spanish and Portuguese governments during the post-authoritarian period (1975-95). It reveals that economic adjustment has been achieved with a mitigated success in Spain and Portugal while it failed in Greece. The second part analyses the causes of these unequal performances. It shows that the latter have been decisively influenced by two factors: the government’s commitment to undertaking reforms: the autonomy of the executive toward the main political actors or its capacity to rally their support. On the whole, this work challenges various preconceived ideas about Southern Europe while confirming and complementing the main findings of similar studies devoted to Eastern European, Latin American, Asian and African new democracies.

Free Download Hope Bastian, "Everyday Adjustments in Havana: Economic Reforms, Mobility, and Emerging Inequalities "
English | ISBN: 1498571093 | 2018 | 214 pages | EPUB | 4 MB
By comparing the current reform process under President Raúl Castro to Cuba’s opening to market capitalism during the 1990s Special Period crisis, Everyday Adjustments in Havana: Economic Reforms, Mobility, and Emerging Inequalities highlights the differences and continuities between adjustments in both periods and their social impacts. It explores the impacts of specific policies such as the expansion of self-employment and the recreation of a private housing market, examining how changes in domestic and international policies after 2011 have modified the post-Special Period status quo and contributed to the formation of new social groups that did not previously exist in Cuba’s Socialist society.
