Book La estrategia inter regional de la Uni  n Europea con Latinoam  rica

Download or read book La estrategia inter regional de la Uni n Europea con Latinoam rica written by Cintia Díaz-Silveira Santos and published by PLAZA Y VALDÉS EDITORES. This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El siglo XX finalizó sin que la Comunidad Internacional lograse alcanzar retos tan importantes como la erradicación de la pobreza. Afortunadamente, el comienzo del nuevo siglo trae nuevas esperanzas. Por fin existen mecanismos políticos que permiten a los Países en Vías de Desarrollo disfrutar de la oportunidad de presentarse ante el primer mundo con voz y voto: los procesos regionales de integración. La única posibilidad que tienen estos países de competir política y comercialmente es agruparse regionalmente. Si la UE -organización que nació de pueblos históricamente enfrentados- está resultando un éxito, ¿acaso no habrían de serlo regiones formadas por Estados que, como los latinoamericanos, tienen una lengua, unas costumbres y una evolución común? Y, ¿por qué no servirse de la experiencia europea para evitar caer en los mismos errores? Es más, ¿por qué no relacionarse con la UE de región a región? Hasta ahora, la UE, como actor social y pionera de los mecanismos de integración, ha desplegado una red de acuerdos inter-regionales con las regiones mejor consolidadas a nivel internacional. Pero sólo ha llevado a cabo negociaciones para acuerdos de asociación con cinco procesos de integración, tres de los cuales son latinoamericanos: el Mercosur, la Comunidad Andina y el Sistema de Integración Centroamericanos. La Dra. Díaz-Silveira analiza, desde la perspectiva del Derecho Internacional Público, los problemas más relevantes de las negociaciones para los respectivos acuerdos de asociación, y asimismo presenta soluciones inteligentes para los problemas con los que se enfrenta el Nuevo Orden Mundial. Esta obra, que por primera vez estudia y explica con gran claridad la estrategia inter-regional que la UE despliega en sus relaciones con Latinoamérica, es una apuesta decidida por el inter-regionalismo como nuevo mecanismo de relaciones internacionales y supone una obligada referencia para todos los estudiosos de las relaciones exteriores de la Unión Europea y de los procesos de integración latinoamericanos.

Book Transnational Perspectives on Latin America

Download or read book Transnational Perspectives on Latin America written by Luis Roniger and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latin America is a region made up of multiple states with a diversity of races, ethnicities, and cultures. In 'Transnational Perspectives on Latin America', Luis Roniger argues that a regional perspective is significant for understanding this part of the Western hemisphere. He claims that geopolitical, sociological, and cultural trends molded a contiguity of influences, shaping a transnational arena of connected histories, cross-border interactions, and shared visions, complementing the process of separate nation-state formation.--

Book Marketing financiero

Download or read book Marketing financiero written by Jaime Rivera Camino and published by ESIC. This book was released on 2015-06-08 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este libro ha sido concebido con la vocación de servir como material didáctico. Para ello, se analiza de manera pedagógica, el complejo entorno en que se desenvuelven las entidades financieras, y las herramientas que les puede aportar el marketing para sobrevivir en un mercado maduro y sujeto a innumerables retos. Los autores exponen de manera sencilla y comprensible tanto las estrategias como las tácticas de marketing que requieren las empresas del sector financiero para ser competitivas. El lector encontrará en estas páginas ejemplos e ilustraciones de bancos de países de distintos continentes, y podrá conocer la evolución que ha experimentado el marketing en las entidades financieras, pasando de un enfoque de relaciones públicas, a la promoción de ventas y al uso de la publicidad. En esta evolución, al igual que ha sucedido en otros sectores, la crisis financiera mundial ha provocado que los bancos hayan tomado conciencia de la utilidad del marketing para colocar al cliente en el centro de su modelo de negocio. Como consecuencia, este libro nace con el ánimo de llenar el vacío relativo al conocimiento del uso efectivo del marketing en este sector. Y por ello, en esta obra se expone el proceso estratégico y operativo que deben utilizar las instituciones financieras para satisfacer las necesidades de sus segmentos objetivos. En su interior se desarrollan también, de manera armónica, los conceptos prácticos y empíricos que pueden ser usados tanto por estudiantes de grado y de postgrado, como por profesionales interesados en conocer de qué forma utilizar el marketing de adquisición y de retención en el sector financiero. Este conocimiento es esencial para instituciones que enfrentan condiciones de mercado de creciente complejidad y competitividad. En donde la aparición de nuevos actores (principalmente empresas tecnológicas), ha comenzado a amenazar líneas de negocio hasta ahora exclusivas de los bancos tradicionales.

Book Research Collaboration between Europe and Latin America

Download or read book Research Collaboration between Europe and Latin America written by Rigas Arvanitis and published by Archives contemporaines. This book was released on 2014-02-19 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International collaboration has become increasingly important in carrying out research activities. This book, written by a large group of scholars from Europe and Latin America, maps, analyses and discusses research collaboration between the two continents during the last twenty years. The empirical material underlines the richness and the variety of the links that bind the two continents, well beyond the simplified views of science, either as the brainchild of global networking or as a result of dependence. The book also develops an innovative methodological approach, combining bibliometric analysis, social surveying, in-depth interviews, and a careful analysis of research programmes and policies. While arguing that the asymmetry of relations that once existed in cooperation has turned into a more equal partnership between the two continents, it deciphers some of the reasons behind this more balanced cooperation. It also challenges the view of science as a global self-organising system through collective action at the level of researchers themselves. On the contrary, the importance of policy, institutions, and previously developed research is highlighted and recognised

Book Regionalism in Latin America

Download or read book Regionalism in Latin America written by JOSÉ BRICEÑO-RUIZ and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-11-18 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This interdisciplinary edited volume explores the political economy of regionalism in Latin America. It identifies convergent forces which have existed in the region since its very conception and analyses these dynamics in their different historical, geographic and structural contexts. Particular attention is paid to key countries such as Argentina, Brazil and Mexico, as well as subregions like the Southern Cone and Central America. To understand the resilience of regionalism in Latin America, this book proposes to highlight four main issues. Firstly, that resilience is linked to mechanisms of self-enforcement that are part of the accumulation of experiences, institution building and common cultural features described in this book as regionalist acquis. Secondly, the elements and driving forces behind the promotion and expression of the regionalist acquis are influenced and shaped by nested systems in which social processes are inserted. Thirdly, when looking at systems, there is a particular influence by national and global ones, which condition the form and endurance of regional projects. Finally, beyond systems, the book highlights the relevance of agents as crucial players in the shaping of the resilience of regionalism in Latin America. This insightful collection will appeal to advanced students and researchers in international economics, international relations, international political economy, economic history and Latin American studies.

Book The European Union s policy towards Mercosur

Download or read book The European Union s policy towards Mercosur written by Arantza Gomez Arana and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2017-02-23 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This electronic version has been made available under a Creative Commons (BY-NC-ND) open access license. This book provides a distinctive and empirically rich account of the European Union’s relationship with the Common Market of the South (Mercosur). It seeks to examine the motivations that determine the EU’s policy towards Mercosur; the most important relationship the EU has with another regional economic integration organization. In order to investigate these motivations (or lack thereof), this study examines the contribution of the main policy- and decision-makers, the European Commission and the Council of Ministers, as well as the different contributions of the two institutions. It analyses the development of EU policy towards Mercosur in relation to three key stages. Arana argues that the dominant explanations in the literature fail to adequately explain the EU’s policy, in particular, these accounts tend to infer the EU’s motives from its activity. Rather than the EU pursuing a strategy, as implied by most of the existing literature, the EU was largely responsive, which explains why the relationship is much less developed than the EU’s relations with other parts of the world.

Book Towards Universal Social Protection

Download or read book Towards Universal Social Protection written by Simone Cecchini and published by UN. This book was released on 2015 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reflects on the public policies, programmes and regulatory frameworks that are taking a rights-based approach to expanding social protection coverage and benefits in Latin America, with a view to achieving universal coverage. Its discussion of the policy tools and programmes pursued in the region aims to provide the reader with technical and programmatic insights for assembling and coordinating public policies within consistent and sustainable social protection systems. The combination of normative orientations and stock of technical knowledge, together with advances regarding the rights-based approach to social protection within a life cycle framework, afford the reader not only a tool box of specific social protection instruments, but also an in-depth examination of related political economy aspects.

Book Competition Policies in Emerging Economies

Download or read book Competition Policies in Emerging Economies written by Claudia Schatan and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-07-11 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As countries large and small, rich and poor are drawn inexorably into the global economy, protectionist policies are proving increasingly inefficient and ineffective for driving growth. The countries of Latin America, which have long pursued agendas of state ownership and heavy regulation of key industries, began to institute a series of reforms in the 1980s and 1990s, designed to promote competition and business creation. However, without the legal and institutional framework to support these policies (and thus guarantee resource-efficient behavior on the part of business owners), the record has been spotty at best. Competition Policies in Emerging Economies features in-depth analysis of two key industries—telecommunications and banking—in several Central American nations to shed light on the dynamics of the transition to deregulation and trade liberalization, and learn from the experiences of these economies. This book has a three-fold purpose: (1) to examine the competition conditions and policies of small developing countries of Central America (and hence cover an area where very little information exists); (2) develop an in-depth analysis of regulation and competition policies in two key industrial sectors with poor competition records (telecommunications and banking); (3) link the former results analysis with other international experiences, in order to derive research and policy recommendations that can be applied to other small, developing, and emerging economies. Featuring discussion of political, legal, economic, financial, cultural, and organization-level issues, the book provides unique perspectives on the forces resisting competitive practices and offers suggestions for overcoming them.

Book Intersecting Interregionalism

Download or read book Intersecting Interregionalism written by Francis Baert and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-12-28 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has two mutually reinforcing aims/parts. The first aim is to contribute to a more productive debate between different theoretical standpoints. There is surprisingly little theoretical and conceptual debate in this burgeoning field, which is one major reason for the failure to fully grasp the diversity of today’s interregionalism. Too often theorists speak past each other, without really engaging with alternative theoretical perspectives or competing research results. Indeed, this book constitutes the first systematic attempt to bring together leading theories and theorists of interregionalism. Leading scholars from around the world develop their own distinctive theoretical perspectives on interregionalism, with a particular emphasis on the dynamic relationship between regionalism and interregionalism. These highly acclaimed theorists have all been associated over the years with a variety of disciplines, institutions, schools and debates and so bring a rich set of insights and connections to this pioneering project. The second part of the book ‘unpacks’ and problematises the region, the driving actors and institutions that are engaged in interregional relations. There is a strong tendency in the field to treat regions as coherent units actors in an interregional relationship, and such simplified notions about ‘regions’ and ‘regional organisations’ necessarily result in superficial and misleading understandings of interregionalism. This part of the book connects the theoretical discussion in the first part with a manageable empirical object.
