The Rise and Fall of Venezuelan President Carlos Andrés Pérez: The early years
A biographical study of two-time President Carlos Andres Perez, one of the architects of contemporary Venezuelan history.
Carlos Andrés Pérez
Este libro, exhaustivo y detallado, contiene secretos y revelaciones inéditas sobre la vida del dos veces presidente de Venezuela, un estadista visionario que pretendió modernizar la economía y el sistema político del país y logró derrotar dos alzamientos castrenses, pero que terminó siendo víctima de una conspiración cívico-militar integrada por personajes frustrados y vengativos que no repararon en las fatídicas consecuencias que sobrevendrían. Antonio Ledezma, que fue Gobernador y Alcalde Metropolitano de Caracas y que compartió vivencias con el protagonista de esta obra, ofrece a los lectores el retrato vivo y veraz de un hombre cuya justa reivindicación no cabe demorar por más tiempo. "Una exploración íntima que va más allá de los documentos oficiales y de los periódicos de la época buceados en las hemerotecas." SERGIO RAMÍREZ

Politicians and Economic Reform in New Democracies
As economic reform in developing countries has shifted from macroeconomic stabilization to liberalization, opportunities for legislators to influence the process and outcome of reform have increased and their role has become more important. This book focuses attention on differences in institutional structure, in political parties and electoral rules, to show how they create incentives that can explain the varying ways in which legislators respond to policy initiatives from the executive branch. In Argentina and the Philippines, presidents proposed similar fiscal reforms in the 1990s: expanding tax bases, strengthening tax administration, and redesigning tax revenue-sharing with subnational ...
