    • Summary:Post-war Latin American economies have failed to close the development gap with advanced industrial countries despite more than six decades of attempted reform and undoubted economic and social progress. Two decades into the 21st century, there is little sign of this situation changing for the better. Compared with other emerging regions, notably East Asia, Latin America has underperformed in income, productivity, and innovation terms. All of this suggests that the time is right for a thorough assessment of why Latin America's recent pursuit of economic development has proven so elusive. 'Innovation, Competitiveness, and Development in Latin America' provides a balanced and topical analysis of the successes and failures of development policy in post-war Latin America. Across 19 chapters, experts in the economics and policy of Latin American development and policy identify the challenges at hand.
