Trade and
development |
In these pages we provide
analysis and reviews of
current trade negotiations in Latin America, with emphasis on regional
blocks (like the Common Market of the South or the Andean
Community), the hemispheric trade negotiations, and the impacts of
global institutions, like WTO or UNCTAD in the continent. We also
present alternatives to ongoing trade reform and regional integration
processes promoting sustainable development objectives. |
