                                PROXY STATEMENT
                              -------------------

         ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS TO BE HELD ON FEBRUARY 21, 2002

    This statement is furnished to the shareholders of Global High Income Dollar
Fund Inc. ('Fund') in connection with the board of directors' solicitation of
proxies to be used at the annual meeting of the shareholders of the Fund to be
held on February 21, 2002, or any adjournment or adjournments thereof. This
proxy statement and the related proxy card will first be mailed to shareholders
on or about December 28, 2001.

    A majority of the shares outstanding on December 21, 2001, represented in
person or by proxy, must be present for the transaction of business at the
meeting. In the event that a quorum is not present at the annual meeting, or if
a quorum is present at the annual meeting but sufficient votes to approve any of
the proposals are not received, the persons named as proxies may propose one or
more adjournments of the annual meeting to permit further solicitation of
proxies. Any such adjournment will require the affirmative vote of a majority of
those shares represented at the annual meeting in person or by proxy. The
persons named as proxies will vote those proxies which they are entitled to vote
FOR any such proposal in favor of such an adjournment, and will vote those
proxies required to be voted AGAINST any such proposal against such adjournment.
A shareholder vote may be taken on one or more of the proposals in this proxy
statement prior to any such adjournment if sufficient votes have been received
and it is otherwise appropriate.

    Broker non-votes are shares held in street name for which the broker
indicates that instructions have not been received from the beneficial owners or
other persons entitled to vote and for which the broker does not have
discretionary voting authority. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted
as shares present for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present but
will not be voted for or against any adjournment or proposal. Accordingly,
abstentions and broker non-votes effectively will be a vote against adjournment
but will have no effect on Proposal 1, for which the required vote is a
plurality.

    The individuals named as proxies on the enclosed proxy card will vote in
accordance with your direction as indicated thereon if your proxy card is
received properly executed by you or by your duly appointed agent or
attorney-in-fact. If you give no voting instructions, your shares will be voted
FOR the twelve nominees for directors named herein and FOR the remaining
proposals described in this proxy statement. You may revoke any proxy card by
giving another proxy or by letter or telegram revoking the initial proxy. To be
effective, your revocation must be received by the Fund prior to the meeting and
must indicate your name and account number. In addition, if you attend the
meeting in person you may, if you wish, vote by ballot at the meeting, thereby
cancelling any proxy previously given.

    As of the record date, December 21, 2001, the Fund had 19,439,667 shares of
common stock outstanding. The solicitation of proxies, the cost of which will be
borne by the Fund, will be made primarily by mail but also may include telephone
or oral communications by regular employees of Brinson Advisors, Inc. ('Brinson
Advisors') or UBS PaineWebber Inc. ('UBS PaineWebber'sm'*'), who will not
receive any compensation therefor from the Fund. Management does not know of any
person who owns beneficially 5%

or more of the shares of the Fund. Each full share of the Fund outstanding is
entitled to one vote and each fractional share of the Fund outstanding is
entitled to a proportionate share of one vote.

    Brinson Advisors serves as the Fund's investment advisor and administrator.
Brinson Advisors, a Delaware corporation, is an indirect wholly owned asset
management subsidiary of UBS AG. UBS AG headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland, is
an internationally diversified organization with operations in may areas of the
financial services industry. Brinson Advisors is located at 51 West
52nd Street, New York, New York 10019-6114. The principal business address of

    The Fund's annual report containing financial statements for the fiscal year
ended October 31, 2001, is being mailed to shareholders concurrently with this
proxy statement.

                       PROPOSAL 1. ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

    Proposal 1 relates to the election of directors of the Fund. Management
proposes the election of the twelve nominees named in the table below. Each
nominee, including those who are not 'interested persons' of the Fund as the
Investment Company Act of 1940 ('1940 Act') defines that term ('Independent
Directors'), has indicated his or her willingness to serve if elected. If
elected, each nominee will hold office until the next annual meeting of
shareholders or until his or her successor is elected and qualified. Unless you
give contrary instructions on the enclosed proxy card, your shares will be voted
FOR the election of the twelve nominees. If any of the nominees should withdraw
or otherwise become unavailable for election, your shares will be voted FOR such
other nominee or nominees as management may recommend.

    Mr. Bewkes has served as a director from the Fund's inception except for a
brief period in 1993. Messrs. Armstrong and Burt have served as directors of the
Fund since February 16, 1995. Messrs. Gowen, Malek and Schafer and
Mrs. Alexander were first elected to the board on April 11, 1996. Effective
September 20, 2001, Mr. Storms resigned his position as director and David J.
Beaubien, William W. Hewitt, Morton L. Janklow and William D. White were
appointed directors of the Fund. Directors shall be elected by the affirmative
vote of the holders of a plurality of the shares of the Fund, present in person
or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon, provided a quorum is present. Proxies
cannot be voted for a greater number of persons than the number of nominees
named. None of the current directors or executive officers (21 persons)
beneficially owned any shares of the Fund on November 30, 2001.

 * Mrs. Alexander and Mr. Bewkes are 'interested persons' of the Fund, as
   defined in the 1940 Act, by virtue of their positions with Brinson Advisors
   and/or UBS PaineWebber.

** Unless otherwise stated, as of the date indicated, each director had sole
   voting and investment power of any shares owned.

    The board of directors of the Fund met five times during the fiscal year
ended October 31, 2001. Each director (except Messrs. Beaubien, Hewitt, Janklow
and White, each of whom was appointed as a director effective September 20,
2001) attended 75% or more of the board meetings during the last fiscal year.
The board has established an Audit Committee that acts pursuant to a written
charter and is responsible for overseeing the Fund's accounting and financial
reporting policies, practices and internal controls. A copy of the charter is
attached as Exhibit A. In fulfilling its duties, the Audit Committee has:
(a) reviewed and discussed the Fund's audited financial statements with
management; (b) discussed with the independent auditors the matters required to
be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61; (c) received certain
written disclosures and the letter from the independent auditors required by
Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 and discussed with the independent
auditors the independent auditors' independence; and (d) based upon its review
of the above, recommended to the board that the audited financial statements be
included in the Fund's annual report to shareholders. The Audit Committee
currently consists of Messrs. Armstrong, Beaubien, Burt, Feldberg, Gowen,
Hewitt, Janklow, Malek, Schafer and White, none of whom have any relationship to
the Fund that may interfere with the exercise of their independence from
management or the Fund and who are independent as defined under listing
standards of the New York Stock Exchange. Each member of the Fund's Audit
Committee is also a member of a similar committee established by the boards of
other investment companies for which Brinson Advisors or UBS PaineWebber serves
as investment advisor. The Audit Committee met once during the fiscal year ended
October 31, 2001 and each individual who was a member of the Audit Committee at
that time, other than Mr. Gowen, attended that meeting.

    Each board member who is not an 'interested person' receives, in the
aggregate from Brinson and PACE Select funds, an annual retainer of $50,000, and
a $10,000 fee for each regular board meeting (and each in-person special board
meeting) actually attended. Each such board member is also entitled to a $2,000
fee for each special telephone meeting attended. The chairperson and vice
chairperson of the Audit and Contract Review Committee receives annually $12,500
and $7,500, respectively. The chairperson of the Nominating Committee receives
annually $5,000. The foregoing fees will be allocated among all such funds (or
each relevant fund in the case of a special meeting) pro rata based on the
funds' relative net assets at the end of the calendar quarter preceding the date
of payment. No officer, director or employee of Brinson Advisors or one of its
affiliates presently receives any compensation from the fund for acting as a
board member or officer.

 'D' Only independent board members are compensated by the funds for which
     Brinson Advisors or UBS PaineWebber serve as investment advisor,
     sub-advisor or manager; board members who are 'interested persons,' as
     defined by the Investment Company Act, do not receive compensation.

  * Represents fees paid to each director during the fiscal year ended
    October 31, 2001.

 ** Represents fees paid during the calendar year ended December 31, 2000 to
    each board member by: (a) 33 investment companies in the case of Messrs.
    Armstrong, Burt, Malek and Schafer; (b) 37 investment companies in the case
    of Messrs. Feldberg and Gowen; and (c) one investment company in the case of
    Messrs. Beaubien, Hewitt, Janklow and White for which Brinson Advisors, UBS
    PaineWebber or one their affiliates served as investment advisor,
    sub-advisor or manager. None of these funds has a bonus, pension, profit
    sharing or retirement plan.

                  INFORMATION CONCERNING INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

    The Fund's financial statements for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2001,
were audited by Ernst & Young LLP ('Ernst & Young'), independent auditors. In
addition, Ernst & Young will be preparing the Fund's federal and state annual
income tax returns and will provide certain non-audit services. The Audit
Committee has considered whether the provision of those non-audit services is
compatible with maintaining Ernst & Young's independence.

    On July 25, 2001, the Board of Directors of the Fund, upon the
recommendation of the Board's Audit Committee, determined not to retain
PricewaterhouseCoopers ('PwC') and approved a change of the Fund's independent
auditors to Ernst & Young LLP. For the fiscal years ended October 31, 2000 and
October 31, 1999, PwC's audit reports contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer
of opinion; nor were their reports qualified or modified as to uncertainty,
audit scope, or accounting principles. Further, there were no disagreements
between the Fund and PwC on accounting principles or practices, financial
statement disclosure or audit scope or procedure, which if not resolved to the
satisfaction of PwC would have caused them to make reference to the disagreement
in their report.

    Representatives of Ernst & Young are not expected to be present at the
meeting but have been given the opportunity to make a statement if they so
desire and will be available should any matter arise requiring their presence.

                                   EXHIBIT A

                  AUDIT AND CONTRACT REVIEW COMMITTEE CHARTER

ESTABLISHMENT AND PURPOSE

    The Audit and Contract Review Committee (the 'Committee') of the Boards of
Trustees and Boards of Directors (each, a 'Board' and collectively, the
'Boards') of the funds for which Brinson Advisors, Inc. ('Brinson Advisors')
serves as investment adviser or investment manager (each, a 'Fund' and
collectively, the 'Funds') is hereby established on this the 12th day of
September, 2001. The two primary purposes of the Committee are to oversee the
Funds' accounting and financial reporting policies, practices and internal
controls as required by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the
'Act') and, for those Funds organized as closed-end investment management
companies, the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. or other relevant
securities exchange, if any, on which shares of the Fund are listed, and to
review the performance by certain service providers of their contracts and
arrangements with the Funds as required by the Act.

    In connection with the oversight of each Fund's accounting and financial
reporting policies, practices and internal controls, the Committee will endeavor
to assure the quality and objectivity of each Fund's independent audit and each
Fund's financial statements, act as a liaison between the Boards and each Fund's
independent auditors and periodically report to the Boards. In performing its
duties, the Committee shall have unrestricted access to the Boards' Trustees and
Directors, the independent auditors, Fund officers, and the senior management of
Brinson Advisors.

    With respect to its contract review function, the Committee will consider
the performance of the Funds' investment advisor or investment manager (as
appropriate) and administrator, sub-advisors, distributor and all other service
providers. The Committee will determine whether compensation paid by the Funds
pursuant to their contracts and arrangements is reasonable and appropriate in
light of the nature and quality of the services rendered. In performing its
duties, the Committee shall have unrestricted access to the Funds' Trustees and
Directors, the officers of the Funds and senior management of each service
provider.

COMPOSITION

    The Committee shall be composed of all the independent Trustees/Directors of
the Funds. The Boards shall elect a chairperson, who shall preside over
Committee meetings (the 'Chairperson'). The Chairperson shall serve for an
initial interim term of one year and, thereafter, for successive terms of three
years.

    Each member of the Committee must meet the independence and experience
requirements set forth in Appendix A.

MEETINGS

    The Committee shall meet on a regular basis, but not less frequently than
annually. An agenda shall be established for each meeting. Special meetings
shall be called as circumstances require. The Chairperson may invite the Funds'
officers and other interested parties to participate in meetings. The Committee
may, in its discretion, meet in executive session outside the presence of the
Funds' officers and other parties.

                                       11






    A majority of the Committee's members shall constitute a quorum. At any
meeting of the Committee, the decision of a majority of the members present and
voting shall be determinative as to any matter submitted to a vote.

REPORTING

    The Chairperson shall report to the Boards on the result of its
deliberations and make such recommendations as deemed appropriate.

DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

    As a general rule, the Funds' independent auditors are ultimately
accountable to the applicable Board and the Committee, and the Committee and the
Boards have the ultimate authority and responsibility to select, evaluate and
where appropriate, replace the independent auditors of the Funds. In addition,
the Committee shall have the following specific duties and responsibilities for
each Fund:

    AUDIT OVERSIGHT

     Recommend to the Board the selection of an independent public accounting
     firm.

     Review the scope of the Fund's proposed audit each year, including the
     extent of audit and non-audit services provided to the Fund by the
     independent auditors, and the audit procedures to be utilized. At the
     conclusion of each audit, the Committee will review the audit, including
     any comments or recommendations, with the independent auditors.

     Ensure that the independent auditors submit on a periodic basis to the
     Committee a formal written statement delineating all relationships of the
     auditors consistent with Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1.

     Discuss with the independent auditors any disclosed relationships or
     services that may impact the objectivity and independence of the
     independent auditors.

     Recommend to the Board appropriate actions in response to the independent
     auditors' report to satisfy itself of, and oversee, the independence of the
     auditors.

     Discuss with management the performance of the independent auditors,
     management's recommendation with respect to the reasonableness of their
     fees and the recommendation to the Board regarding the retention of the
     independent auditors.

     Review and discuss with the independent auditors and management the Fund's
     annual report to shareholders and significant accounting policies
     underlying the report and its presentation to the public.

     Discuss with the Fund's independent auditors any matters required to be
     discussed pursuant to Statement of Auditing Standards No. 61, as modified
     or supplemented.

     Discuss with the Fund's independent auditors, to the extent required by
     Statement of Auditing Standards No. 71, any adjustments which were made to
     previously reported financial information.

     Review with the independent auditors the adequacy and effectiveness of
     relevant internal controls and procedures and the quality of the staff
     implementing these controls and procedures.

                                       12






     As necessary, review with the independent auditors and management any
     'illegal acts,' as defined in Section 10A of the Securities Exchange Act of
     1934 and required by that statute to be reported to the Committee, or other
     significant issues that could have a material effect on the Fund's
     financial statements.

     Make recommendations to the Board, based on the Committee's review and
     discussions with the Fund's independent auditors and management, with
     respect to the Fund's financial statements as to whether the financial
     statements should be included in the Fund's annual report for the previous
     fiscal year.

    CONTRACT REVIEW

     Request such information as is deemed relevant by the Committee regarding
     the performance of each of the contracts and arrangements required to be
     reviewed and approved by the Board.

     Review all information and data provided by the service providers in
     connection with their performance of these contracts and arrangements.

     Meet with such representatives of the service providers as the Committee
     deems necessary.

     Make recommendations to the Board concerning the initial approval and/or
     continuation of each of the proposed contracts and arrangements and the
     reasonableness and appropriateness of the proposed fees.

     Consider such other matters as the Committee may deem appropriate in
     carrying out the above responsibilities and any other matters that may be
     assigned to it by the Board.

    OTHER

     Review with the Fund's investment manager and sub-advisors:

     (a) such compliance matters as are appropriate to be brought to the
         attention of the Committee; and

     (b) any comments or criticisms from the staff of the Securities and
         Exchange Commission or any other regulators as are appropriate to be
         brought to the attention of the Committee.

LIMITS ON COMMITTEE LIABILITY

    The Audit and Contract Review Committee is not responsible for either the
preparation of the financial statements or the auditing of the financial
statements. Management of the Funds has the responsibility for preparing the
financial statements and implementing internal controls and the independent
auditors have the responsibility for auditing the financial statements and
monitoring the effectiveness of the internal controls. The review of the
financial statements by the audit committee is not of the same quality as the
audit performed by the independent auditors. In carrying out its
responsibilities, the audit committee's policies and procedures shall be
adapted, as appropriate, in order to best react to a changing environment.

AMENDMENTS

    This charter may be amended by a vote of a majority of the Committee
members.

                                       13







                                                                      APPENDIX A

INDEPENDENCE REQUIREMENTS

    In order to be deemed independent, each member of the Committee must be free
of any relationships that may interfere with the exercise of his or her
independent judgment. To ensure the independence of each Committee member, the
following restrictions shall apply to each Committee member:

     A Director/Trustee who is an employee (including non-employee executive
     officers) of a Fund or any of its affiliates may not serve on the Committee
     until three years following the termination of his or her employment. In
     the event the employment relationship is with a former parent or
     predecessor of a Fund, the Director/Trustee could serve on the Committee
     after three years following the termination of the relationship between the
     Fund and the former parent or predecessor.

     A Director/Trustee: (a) who is a partner, controlling shareholder, or
     executive officer of an organization that has a business relationship with
     a Fund, or (b) who has a direct business relationship with a Fund (e.g., a
     consultant) may serve on the Committee only if the Board of
     Directors/Trustees of that Fund determines in its business judgment that
     the relationship does not interfere with the Director's/Trustee's exercise
     of independent judgment. In making a determination regarding the
     independence of a Director/Trustee pursuant to this paragraph, the Board of
     Directors/Trustees of the Fund should consider, among other things, the
     materiality of the relationship to the Fund, to the Director/Trustee, and,
     if applicable, to the organization with which the Director/Trustee is
     affiliated.

     'Business relationship' can include commercial, industrial, banking,
     consulting, legal, accounting and other relationships. A Director/Trustee
     can have this relationship directly with the Fund, or the Director/Trustee
     can be a partner, officer or employee of an organization that has such a
     relationship. The Director/Trustee may serve on the Committee without the
     above-referenced Board of Directors'/Trustees' determination after three
     years following the termination of, as applicable, either: (a) the
     relationship between the organization with which the Director/Trustee is
     affiliated and the Fund, (b) the relationship between the Director/Trustee
     and his or her partnership status, shareholder interest or executive
     officer position, or (c) the direct business relationship between the
     Director/Trustee and the Fund.

     A Director/Trustee who is employed as an executive of another corporation
     where a Fund's executives serve on that corporation's compensation
     committee may not serve on the Committee.

     A Director/Trustee who is an 'Immediate Family' member (as this term is
     defined in Rule 303.02(A) of the NYSE Listed Company Manual) of an
     individual who is an executive officer of a Fund or any of its affiliates
     cannot serve on the Committee until three years following the termination
     of such employment relationship.

EXCEPTIONS

    One Independent Director/Trustee who does not meet the independence
requirements above, and is not a current employee or an immediate family member
of such an employee, may be appointed as a member of the Committee, if the
Boards of Directors/Trustees of the Brinson Advisors Funds, under exceptional
and limited circumstances, determine that his or her membership on the Committee
is required by the best interests of the Funds and their shareholders, and the
Boards disclose, in the next annual proxy statement for each closed-end Fund
subsequent to the person's appointment, the nature of the relationship and the
reasons why the person was appointed to the Committee.

                                       14






EXPERIENCE REQUIREMENTS

    Each member of the Committee must be 'financially literate'. A member of the
Committee will be deemed to be 'financially literate' if he or she is able to
read and understand financial statements, including, but not limited to, the
Funds' balance sheets, income statements, and cash flow statements, or will
become able to do so within a reasonable time after becoming a member of the
Committee.

FINANCIAL EXPERTISE REQUIREMENTS

    At least one member of the Committee must have past employment experience in
finance or accounting, requisite professional certification in accounting, or
any comparable experience or background which would result in the individual's
financial sophistication, including being or having been a chief executive
officer, chief financial officer or other senior officer with financial
oversight responsibilities.
