Reframing development and accountability: the influence of sovereign credit ratings on policy making in developing countries
Article Abstract:
The sovereign credit ratings are particularly influential in the context of detecting the consequences of shifts in power structures from the public to the private sectors, not only because of their function as a benchmark for private investment but also because they enter into the calculations of policy makers in developing countries. A case study of Argentine crisis of 2001is presented to illustrate the influence of sovereign credit ratings on policy making.
