Latin American and Caribbean trade agreements: keys to a prosperous community of the americas

Latin American and Caribbean Trade Agreements: Keys to a Prosperous Communityof the Americas is the essential reference guide for companies trading with Latin America and the Caribbean or wishing to use a country in the region as anexport platform. This work fills the void in academic texts that are used to teach courses on economic integration in the Western Hemisphere. It provides aroad map for the Obama Administration to launch an ambitious project designedto encourage economic growth, promote energy security, and reduce harmful greenhouse gas emissions, while at the same time realistically meeting the development needs of Latin America and the Caribbean. Latin American and Caribbean Trade Agreements: Keys to a Prosperous Community of the Americas posits that the myopic focus of past United States administrations on free markets to spur economic development in the Western Hemisphere is not enough. A bolder and moreambitious project that also seeks to redress many of the deep-seated problemsthat have long plagued the region is required. The Community of the Americas proposed in this book rests upon the important work that has already been doneat the sub-regional level in terms of economic and political reform, identifying infrastructure and human capital needs, and regulating migration. It provides a new and cohesive vision for U.S. policy in Latin America and the Caribbean.
