Presentation Transformation Index 2016

Hauke Hartmann, Liliana De Riz and Carla Carrizo discussed global trends, the performance of Argentina and challenges to transformation in the country, respectively in the Foro Latino Global held at the headquarters of CADAL. To prepare the Bertelsmann Transformation Index (BTI) specialists in 129 countries, guided by a list of standardized codes, evaluated it based on a total of 17 criteria. The BTI summarizes the results of this comprehensive study of the processes of transformation and political management into two indexes. Status Index comprises two analytical dimensions that evaluates the state of political and economic transformation, and the Management Index evaluates the quality of governance . The methodology, global trends and regional chapters of the BTI are published in Spanish by CADAL.

CADAL organized the Foro Latino Global 2016 to present the Index published by the Bertelsmann Stiftung (BTI) which attempts to analyze the extent to which developing countries and countries in transition are able to guide social change toward democracy and a market economy, and the method they use in achieving that.
