Resumo(s)
The major fact of international life during. the last
years has certainly been the step towards democracy in large
parts of the world. The consolidation of this process is
obviously essential for the future of humanity and closely
concerns the economists. In this respect, we begin by
emphasizing that historical evidence has shown how the right
solutions to economic problems that arise in such a context
contribute to the solid implementation of democratic
structures. Moreover, it should be stressed that
simultaneous changes in the political, as well as economic
order make the transition more fascinating, while, at the
same time, making it complex and unstable. In particular, it
should be noted that there is an intermediate course between
initial and stabilized democracy, which requires special
economic treatment and attention. Some of the problems we
refer to are, in fact, rather similar, despite the apparent
political distances dividing each specific case ( for
instance, if the country in question is situated in Eastern
Europe or in Latin America ). In this regard, our chief
concern is the general will to rapidly and substantially
improve welfare and its immediate consequences. Bearing in
mind the background of democratic institutional changes,
the present paper approaches these topics at a macroeconomic
level and focusses the policy issues involved. In this sense,
we endeavour to avoid traditional solutions and
instrumental opposing camps and, more specifically to
combine the recognition of certain economic equilibria with
a degree of achievement of social expectations.
