New Frontiers in Asia-Latin America Integration

Economic ties between Asia and Latin America are growing as a part of a global shift toward more South–South cooperation. Yet trade costs remain high, which may impede future interregional trade and integration. Furthermore, an emerging trans-Pacific trade architecture based on free trade agreements (FTAs) carries risks of a noodle bowl effect.  This book examines new frontiers in Asia–Latin America integration through interregional comparative studies in three key areas: trade facilitation, logistics, and infrastructure; production networks, supply chains, and small and medium-sized enterprises; and FTAs. The chapters contributed by Asian, Latin American, and international experts provide new insights on regional integration, impediments, and policy issues.    INDICE: Preface Introduction - Masahiro Kawai, Antoni Estevadeordal and Mario B LamberteI: TRADE FACILITATION Origin and Beyond: Trade Facilitation Disaster or Trade Facilitation Opportunity? - Brian Rankin Staples and Jeremy Harris Accelerating Regional Integration: Issues at the Border - Douglas H Brooks and Susan F Stone Trade Logistics and Regional Integration in Latin America and the Caribbean - Pablo Guerrero, Krista Lucenti, and Sebastián GalarzaII: SUPPLY CHAINS Supply Chain Dynamics in Asia - Ruth Banomyong The Internationalization of SMEs in Regional and Global Value Chains - Hank Lim and Fukunari Kimura Regional Integration Behind the Border: Applying a Value Chain Approach - Grant AldonasIII: ASIA-LAC RELATIONS PRC’s Outward FDI to Latin America: Trends and Motivations - Gloria O Pasadilla Asia–Latin America FTAs: An Instrument for Inter-Regional Liberalization and Integration? - Ganeshan Wignaraja, Dorothea Ramizo, and Luca Burmeister Prospects for Regional Cooperation Between Latin America and Caribbean and Asia Pacific: Perspectives from East Asia - Erlinda M.
