From the Introduction
On May 19, 1997, a group of scholars met at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington, D.C., to discuss the roots and ramifications of Bolivia’s capitalization program. The workshop also aimed at examining the Bolivian experience from a comparative perspective, with the idea of assessing the potential for the application of similar programs in China and/or Eastern Europe. The meeting was coordinated jointly by the Latin American Program of the Wilson Center and the Bolivian Ministry of Capitalization. This Working Paper consists of the six papers presented by workshop participants, each revised afterward in response to specific points raised in the discussion
Latin America Program
The Wilson Center’s prestigious Latin America Program provides non-partisan expertise to a broad community of decision makers in the United States and Latin America on critical policy issues facing the Hemisphere. The Program provides insightful and actionable research for policymakers, private sector leaders, journalists, and public intellectuals in the United States and Latin America. To bridge the gap between scholarship and policy action, it fosters new inquiry, sponsors high-level public and private meetings among multiple stakeholders, and explores policy options to improve outcomes for citizens throughout the Americas. Drawing on the Wilson Center’s strength as the nation’s key non-partisan policy forum, the Program serves as a trusted source of analysis and a vital point of contact between the worlds of scholarship and action.
