La internacionalización de la economía colombiana

"Monograph by an influential academic researcher and policymaker on the opening of the Colombian economy. The author presents a history of the relationship between economic development and protectionism in Colombia, describes the current process of economic opening, and makes a projection about its impact. Asserts that the Colombian economy was already turning to new exports and private investment prior to the Gaviria Administration non-gradual opening process. Predicts that the effects of this process in terms of growth will be moderate for the existing productive sectors, but that the new model precludes incentives for the development of new areas of production"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
