Columbia : an opening economy

Has the liberalization of the Colombian economy gone too far or not far enough?

This second volume of studies on the Colombian economy seeks to shed some light on this difficult question.

A variety of issues related to the economic opening or liberalization (commonly referred to as apertura) of Colombia are discussed.

The authors' analysis not only improves our understanding of Colombia during a period of dramatic change but also may provide insight into the impact of liberalization throughout Latin America.
