New Frontiers in Asia-Latin America Integration: Trade Facilitation, Production Networks, and FTAs
SHARE THIS PAGE
This book presents comparative studies investigating the potential for further integration between Asia and Latin America, particularly in the areas of trade facilitation, production networks, and free trade agreements.
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 written by Asian, Latin American, and international experts provide new insights on regional integration, impediments, and policy issues.
