Das vorliegende PRIF Working Paper sichtet und analysiert die Forschung zur politischen Ökonomie makroökonomischer Stabilisierung und neoliberaler Strukturanpassung mit Fokus auf die Erfahrungen Lateinamerikas in den 1980er und frühen 1990er Jahren. Das Arbeitspapier diskutiert Kontroversen, Argumente und Erkenntnisse zu einer Reihe von Schlüsselfragen: der Rolle des Regimetyps (demokratisch versus autoritär) für die Einleitung und Umsetzung von Wirtschaftsreformen; dem Zusammenspiel zwischen der Auseinandersetzung um Wirtschaftsreformen und politischen Transformationsprozessen; der Bedeutung internationaler Akteure und Faktoren; der Rolle innerstaatlicher Strukturen und Akteure; der Dynamik internationaler Verhandlungen über Wirtschaftsreformen; sowie den Ursachen, Merkmalen und Folgen von "IWF-Unruhen" und "Austeritätsprotesten". Ziel des Papiers ist es nicht, ein kohärentes Set an Erkenntnissen zu präsentieren. Es gibt vielmehr einen Überblick über eine so breite wie heterogene Forschung, die eine Vielzahl von Einsichten, Ideen und offenen Fragen hervorgebracht hat, die bei der Untersuchung aktueller Auseinandersetzungen um Wirtschaftsreformen zu berücksichtigen sind.... view less

This PRIF Working Paper reviews and discusses the scholarship on the political economy of macroeconomic stabilization and neoliberal structural adjustment, focusing on Latin American experiences during the 1980s and early 1990s. It discusses controversies, arguments and findings on a couple of key issues: the role of regime type (democratic versus authoritarian) for the adoption and implementation of economic reforms; the interplay of economic reform struggles and processes of political transformation; the relevance of international forces and factors; the role of domestic structures and actors; the dynamics of international negotiations over economic reforms; as well as the causes, characteristics and consequences of "IMF riots" and "austerity protests". The aim of the paper is not to present a coherent set of findings but rather to give an overview of a literature that has produced a diverse range of insights, ideas and open questions that are helpful to take into consideration when studying contemporary dynamics of economic reform struggles.... view less
