Books by Ruben Berrios

This study uses paired comparisons of Peru's economic development experience with those of Chile and South Korea. It makes use of political and economic analysis to explore how and why some countries have taken a leap toward development while others, like Peru, have lagged behind.

Berrios documents the practices of private sector contracting, how they compete for USAID contracts, how they fit into the stated aims and needs of the agency, and what their performance evaluations say upon completion of contracts.
