 Fads and Fashion in Economic Reforms: Washington Consensus or Washington Confusion? - Moises Naim - Paper prepared for ...
Presidents and finance ministers also saw how their apprehensions were denounced as evidence of their lack of "political will", while the changing requirements coming from Washington and Wall Street were presented as reasonable changes resulting from the incorporation of "the lessons of experience".
Therefore, the Washington Consensus' prescription that government-imposed barriers to imports and exports, to foreign investment, and to foreign currency transactions had to be lifted was sharply at odds with the long-held conviction that developing countries had to protect their economies from an unfair and exploitative international system rigged against them.
For years, external factors, foreign conspiracies, foreign aid, the externally-determined price of the main export commodity [cotton, copper, coffee, oil, etc.] or an impenetrable international economy were seen as the main drivers of a developing country's poor economic performance.

Although these reforms promise to introduce a greater degree of competition in the economy, investment in the tradable sector and export growth have remained sluggish, suggesting the need for accelerated trade and internal reform if the Government is to meet its ambitious growth targets for GDP and standards of living.
The sector continues to be a principal source of foreign currency for the country, playing an important role in the balance of payments; this industry currently ranks second among Egypt's major sources of foreign currency.
Foreign investors can also carry out projects in Egyptian free zones, which are regulated by the investment law and considered, for a number of purposes, as being located offshore.

 Sandline International - Links headings
Paragraph 16 of the Foreign Affairs Committee report outlines all these instances, including a telegram sent on 9 October 1997 by the Foreign Office to Posts, stating the embargo applied 'to the junta', which, in December last year Mr Cook personally stated was 'plainly wrong'.
Even the Foreign Affairs Committee concluded that: 'government policy on individual arms embargoes must never again be stated in a way which could mislead Parliament, the public and even the FCO's own staff'.
I find it singularly unattractive and somewhat distasteful that, all the way through the piece on Sierra Leone, Ministers have sought, on the Floor of the House and in evidence before the Foreign Affairs Committee, to lay the blame for the misdescription of the policy at the door of officials.

 U.S. Senate Republican Policy Committee
On March 24, 1999, NATO initiated air attacks on Yugoslavia (a federation of two republics, Serbia and Montenegro) in order to impose a peace agreement in the Serbian province of Kosovo, which has an ethnic Albanian majority.
By early 1999, the Clinton Administration had completely staked the success of its Kosovo policy on either the acceptance by both sides of a pre-drafted peace agreement that would entail a NATO ground occupation of Kosovo, or, if the Albanians signed the agreement while Belgrade refused, bombing of the Serbs.
No observer doubts that the large majority of fighters that have flocked to the KLA during the past year or so (since it began large-scale military operations) are ordinary Kosovo Albanians who desire what they see as the liberation of their homeland from foreign rule.

 ASEAN Should Address East Timor, Governance Issues (Press Release, July 1999)
(New York, July 23) — The annual meeting of Southeast Asian foreign ministers beginning this weekend in Singapore should address key human rights issues in the region that threaten to undermine regional stability and investor confidence, Human Rights Watch said today.
It said that members of ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) and participants from other countries should focus on difficult political transitions in Indonesia and Cambodia, the unchecked violence in East Timor, and the worsening human rights situation in Burma.
Human Rights Watch urged Japanese Foreign Minister Komura, U.S. Secretary of State Albright, and Australian Foreign Minister Downer to take the lead in coordinating an effort to get heads of state from all the ASEAN governments to convey directly to Indonesian President B.J. Habibie their concern about the violence in East Timor.
