In the Shadow of the Debt: Emerging Issues in Latin America

By Robert Bottome

Third World debt remains a problem because of its massive size and the cost it continues to impose on Latin America's economic development. But other issues are emerging as as changes in the US and overseas open the way for closer global relations. This update on Twentieth Century Fund papers on the international debt crisis looks at developments in key Latin American countries since the mid 1980s and presents new challenges for US policy in the region. The book includes essays on Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, Peru and Venezuela, and calls for the US government to do more to alleviate the debt burden.
