The myth of the 'Latin American decade (original) (raw)

2018, DOAJ (DOAJ: Directory of Open Access Journals)

This paper analyzes Latin American performance over the period 2003-2014 with the purpose of evaluating two ideas: whether this period constituted so-called 'golden years' and whether the 2010s were likely to be a 'Latin American decade' This term was used several times by scholars, international organizations, and market experts, claiming that the region was finally on the right track after two decades of disappointing economic performance. However, the data shows that the claims were overoptimistic.
