"Analyzes the structural process of the economic opening begun in 1990. Unlike past economic liberalizations, this process is not contingent upon availability of hard currency, but obeys a long-term economic strategy designed to stimulate growth. The process is deployed across several fronts in addition to international trade, among them, renewed exchange rate and fiscal policy, financial and tax reform, foreign investment incentives and new labor laws. The book offers background for sector and industry leaders, and a complete bibliography"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.

In this book, several of Colombia's leading political analysts assess this crisis and its implications for the maintainance of political stability and consolidation of democracy"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
