Abstract

Description

Four years after its outbreak, the Asian crisis continues to confound experts: a region whose countries had long been considered paragons of successful economic development is mired in financial collapse and deep recession. By contrast, Latin America -with the important exceptions of Brazil and Ecuador- managed to avoid crisis-like situation in 1997-99, in spite of that region's checkered financial past.
