Dimensión Social Del Diálogo Del Fmi En Materia De Políticas
Resumen del Libro

This pamphlet focuses on the IMFs role in social policy advice. First, the evolution of the IMFs involvement in social issues is traced, and the lessons that can be drawn from this experience, including policy implications, are outlined. This is followed by an elaboration of the social dimensions of IMF policy advice to member countries under its two major activities: surveillance of economic policies and financial support for adjustment programs. The IMFs collaboration on social issues with the World Bank and UN agencies is examined, and the conclusion focuses on ways to further strengthen the IMFs contribution to social development.
