Abstract

Para los gobiernos de muchos paises de la region de America Latina y el Caribe ha sido problematico el manejo de la produccion de recursos naturales y de sus repetidos ciclos de bonanzas y crisis. 'Los recursos naturales en America Latina y el Caribe Mas alla de bonanzas y crisis?', es un libro que trata sobre las grandes preocupaciones asociadas con la dependencia de los bienes primarios, en el que se resume el estado del arte en la bibliografia existente y que llena los vacios de conocimiento con nuevos analisis. En el informe se encuentra que algunos efectos negativos comunmente aceptados de la dependencia de los recursos naturales son en gran parte mitos y que otros, en cambio, son realidades. Los temas cubiertos en este estudio incluyen el crecimiento fiscal a largo plazo, la volatilidad fiscal, los impactos institucionales y los efectos ambientales y sociales. En el se analizan tambien las implicaciones para el desarrollo y las politicas en la region.
