A New Blue Ocean


Book Description

This book explores the achievements and obstacles confronting China and major Latin American countries in developing small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the context of new changes in “The Belt and Road” Initiative. In the first three chapters, the Chinese authors elaborate on the relationship between “The Belt and Road” Initiative and globalization, as well as strategies towards forming an increasingly close bond between China and Latin America. The book ends with chapters dedicated to analyzing the BRI conditions and effects on SMEs of Latin-American countries. These country specific chapters will show the specific opportunities and challenges the countries conditions, be they political, geological, etc. may have on the development of SMEs under the BRI. The book will be useful not only to industry leaders looking to better understand how they can potentially benefit from the BRI but also by the general public, as the book will explain what this new era of globalization, and more specifically the BRI, will mean for the world’s industries and society.

China, The United States, and the Future of Latin America


Book Description

Provides insight into U.S. and Chinese involvement in aid, trade, direct investment and strategic ties in Latin America In recent years, China has become the largest trading partner for more than half the countries in Latin America, and demonstrated major commitments in aid and direct investment in various parts of the region. China has also made a number of strategic commitments to countries like Nicaragua, Cuba, and Venezuela which have long-standing policies opposing U.S. influence in the region. China, the United States, and the Future of Latin America posits that this activity is a direct challenge to the role of the U.S. in Latin America and the Caribbean.

The book series has so far considered the differences in operating styles between China and the U.S. in Central Asia and Southeast Asia. This third volume unpacks the implications of competing U.S. and Chinese interests in countries such as Brazil and Argentina, and China’s commitments in Nicaragua and Venezuela. This volume draws upon a variety of policy experts, focusing on the viewpoints of South American and Caribbean scholars as well as scholars from outside states. China’s new global reach and its ambitions, as well as the U.S. response, are analyzed in detail.A nuanced examination of current complexities and future implications, China, the United States and the Future of Latin America provides readers with varied perspectives on the changing economic and strategic picture in Latin America and the Caribbean.







Desarrollo, integración y cooperación en América Latina y Asia-Pacifico


Book Description

Los cuatro artículos aquí reunidos pretenden iniciar una discusión más activa sobre las relaciones entre América Latina y la región del Asia-Pacífico. Los autores intentan así analizar el pasado y el presente de dichas relaciones, en particular desde la perspectiva de Japón, y buscar un nuevo horizonte para ellas en este siglo. En un marco de globalización y de reacomodo de las hegemonías tanto económicas como políticas, junto con el afianzamiento de las democracias en la región, los artículos analizan temas como desarrollo y cooperación internacional entre el Asia del Este y Latinoamérica, comparando las dinámicas de desarrollo de los países implicados (agroindustria, industria automotriz, criaderos de salmón, etc.). Asimismo, se plantea una revisión de la relación comercial asimétrica del Perú con el oriente de Asia para hacerla más equitativa. Finalmente, la perspectiva política revisa las posibilidades de cimentar la relación que tiene actualmente tanto Japón como los países de nuestra región.




Latin American Economic Outlook


Book Description

This publication is devoted to the evolving relationship between Latin America and China, as well as its prospects in the long term. China's transformation involves a gradual shift in its development strategy, including the rebalancing process from investment to consumption, the demographic transition, the structural transformation towards high value-added goods and services, and a "going-out" policy to approach other regions. This report lays the ground for discussing future trends in the relationship between China and Latin America, given these changing patterns. Based on the analysis of potential transmission channels of China's new model to the region, which include issues on trade, finance and skills, the outlook aims to identify strategies and policy responses for Latin America to overcome development challenges. Latin America and China can complement each other further and build a mutually beneficial partnership for development.
