THE EVOLUTION OF THE TERM ‘WASHINGTON CONSENSUS’
追溯了“华盛顿共识”一词从最初指代拉丁美洲改革共识到后来含义变化的历程，评估该术语是否仍适用或已过时，并指出其演变反映了近二十年经济发展思想的变迁。
Abstract The term ‘Washington Consensus’, as Williamson conceived it, was the lowest common denominator of the reforms that he judged ‘Washington’ could agree were required in Latin America. The term has evolved to denote a different set of policies from those initially conceived. This paper investigates the different versions and interpretations of this controversial term and assesses whether the term itself is suitable and viable or slowly becoming irrelevant and obsolete. Most importantly, the evolution of the term mirrors the evolution of economic thought on economic development for nearly the last two decades.
