Latin America and the Global Economy: Export Trade and the Threat of Protection

Countries in Latin America have only recently begun to liberalize their economies and move towards free trade. However, non-traditional barriers to trade threaten this new direction of development. This collection of papers uses the point of view of a developing country to analyze the effects of new forms of protection. Four cases examine the global effects on Latin American trade, specifically: environmental standards, labor standards, consumer protection, and the problems facing Latin American cross-border investment.Fischer, Ronald D. is the author of 'Latin America and the Global Economy: Export Trade and the Threat of Protection' with ISBN 9780333774588 and ISBN 0333774582.
