Description
Summary:The goal of this research is to analyze the state of the contemporary debate on the mechanisms for sovereign debt restructuring. The article begins by unraveling the main guidelines supported by the proposals with the greatest political and economic impact since the opening of the debate, focusing specially on the developments reported in the following years.
