| description | Starting in the 1980s, and accelerating through lic 1990s, international financial institutions (IFIs), non-governmental organizations (NGO5) and development agencies funnelled considerable resources into judicial reform and rule of law programmes in virtually every Latin American and Caribbean country. The assumption was that reformed court systems would foster free market economic development strategies. This article examines the impact of two frequently advocated aspects of judicial reform, judicial access and judicial independence, on econornic policy making in Costa Rica. We argue that there is a potentially significant disjuncture between the sponsors’ expectations of the judicial reforms’ economic impact and the observed outcomes. |
