Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'This collection provides an excellent account of the diverging ways countries in varying parts of the world went about liberalizing capital flows. Case studies of transition countries are set against the background of more general studies analysing the Asian and Latin American experience, as well as the earlier liberalization processes in economically advanced countries. The reader gets a lively picture of the many pitfalls that beset the road to full capital liberalization and will realise that there is no single best way to liberalize. The authors strike one as unprejudiced and far from dogmatic, out to learn from experience rather than trying to impose some particular point of view.' - Hans Visser, Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam, The Netherlands This significant new book provides a succinct overview of the essential policy issues surrounding capital liberalization. The book compares the experiences of transition economies in Europe with those of advanced nations, allowing the reader to examine the changing international economic and financial environment within which transition countries have to liberalize.
