自 1 997年下半年起 ,东亚国家和地区相继爆发经济危机或受到危机的强烈冲击和影响。一时间 ,东亚经济奇迹、东亚发展模式及其相关的各种问题引起了十分激烈且十分有益的争论。其中关于政府作用与危机的关系进而关于政府在东亚发展进程中的地位等问题是争论的焦点之一。政府作用问题不仅仅对东亚的发展具有十分重要的意义 ,而且一般而言 ,它对其他发展中国家的发展进程也产生了十分重要的影响。在拉美国家的发展进程中 ,政府作用也几经变迁。这种变迁在很多情况下受到了东亚地区直接或间接的影响。在拉美国家的“国家改革”进行多年但却长期徘徊不前之际 ,东亚危机引发的问题使人们有机会重新认识拉美国家的改革和调整进程 Since the second half of 1997, economic crises have erupted in successive countries and regions in East Asia or have been strongly affected and affected by the crisis. For a time, the economic miracle of East Asia, the pattern of development in East Asia and various related issues have generated a very fierce and very useful debate. Among them, the issue of the relationship between the role of government and the crisis and thus the government’s position in the development of East Asia is one of the focuses of the debate. The issue of the role of government is not only of great importance to the development of East Asia, but in general it also has a very significant impact on the development process of other developing countries. In the course of the development of Latin American countries, the role of the government has changed several times. In many cases, this change has been directly or indirectly affected by East Asia. As the “state reforms” in Latin American countries have been stagnant for years but long-term, the problems caused by the crisis in East Asia have given people an opportunity to re-understand the reform and adjustment process in Latin American countries
