Latin America Its Future in the Global Economy

Latin America: Its Future in the Global Economy is a timely contribution to the effort to meet the complex challenges of Latin America's increasing participation in world markets. Taking into account the recent changes in the region, twelve economists and two international trade lawyers provide a framework for the analysis of trade negotiations by identifying key points of disagreement among trading partners, and discusses controversial issues such as the environment, labor and agriculture, exceptional protection, investment, services, e-commerce and the efficiency of the dispute settlement mechanism.

Patricia Gray Rich is an Economic Affairs Officer.
