This book was released on 2020-06-03 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este libro propone elementos para repensar la integración latinoamericana, con la uti-lización como casos de estudio del Mercado Común del Sur (Mercosur) y la Alianza del Pacífico. En los diversos capítulos del libro, se explican las razones por las cuales el regionalismo económico en América Latina mantiene una lógica de avances iniciales, retrocesos y estancamiento sin llegar a consolidarse de manera definitiva. En este análisis, se consideran cuatro variables esenciales para entender el complejo proceso integrador en la región: el modelo económico, la institucionalidad, la participación política y el li-derazgo. Con base a estas cuatro variables, los diversos capítulos explican las causas de las dificultades de la integración regional en América Latina y en sus capítulos finales se plantean escenarios futuros. El libro es resultado de la colaboración de investigadores de la Universidad Cooperativa de Colombia y la Universidad de los Andes de Venezuela.

This book was released on 2024-03-14 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este libro tiene por objetivo presentar propuestas de política institucional, migratoria y de convergencia del intercambio comercial para la reactivación de la integración multidimensional latinoamericana, en estudios de regionalismo comparado de experiencias de Europa, de Asia, de África y de América Latina. Estas propuestas permiten avanzar hacia nuevas acciones prioritarias en la integración regional latinoamericana, mediante políticas: 1) institucionales, para avanzar en condiciones mínimas de operatividad efectiva, evaluación de objetivos y funciones de los organismos regionales existentes y promoción de la articulación eficaz de los distintos procesos de integración que existen en la región, teniendo como referencia las experiencia desarrolladas en distintas regiones del planeta; 2) migratorias, abordando la importancia de los programas de empleo y la regulación migratoria, así como los mecanismos de seguridad social y protección de los derechos humanos de la población migrante, y 3) de convergencia del intercambio comercial, mediante el análisis del Programa Operador Económico Autorizado con potencial para generar ventajas competitivas a las empresas que hacen vida en los países latinoamericanos, instrumento de liberación del intercambio de mercancías a nivel intrarregional y de desarrollo de cadenas globales y regionales de valor. En este sentido, se aboga por dirigir los acuerdos de integración latinoamericanos hacia una nueva configuración de las dinámicas políticas, institucionales, migratorias y comerciales, en los ámbitos nacional e internacional, distinguidas por una mayor interacción entre actores, tanto públicos como privados, previo a la toma de decisiones.

Download or read book Regionalism Security and Development in Africa written by Ernest Toochi Aniche and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-04-29 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book charts the history and contemporary landscape of African regionalism, investigating how regional cooperation can be used to help to tackle security and development challenges in Africa. Africa has a long tradition of regional cooperation, with the oldest trade and monetary integration schemes in the developing world, but its colonial period and partition of have caused lasting damage that still be seen in today’s African economies. Contemporary post-colonial African regionalism, deeply rooted in notions of pan-Africanism, has served as a means of collective self-reliance and economic transformation and development. This book starts with the history and theory behind African regionalism before discussing and comparing regional organisations such as the Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS), the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), the Community of Sahel-Saharan States (CEN-SAD), Southern African Development Community (SADC), the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) and the East African Community (EAC). Finally, the book considers how regional integration and cooperation can help to address security and development challenges. This ambitious and broad-ranging book will be a valuable resource for researchers working on African regionalism, security, African integration and development, and comparative regionalism. Policymakers should also consider it a useful guide to the background and contemporary landscape of African regionalism.
Download or read book Impact of Global Issues on International Trade written by Co?kun Özer, Ahu and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2021-06-25 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International trade is vital in today’s world; international trade can be affected by a number of issues such as terrorism, economic crises, and pandemics such as COVID-19. It is crucial to understand the impact these global issues have on international trade and what happens to trade when global issues arise. A comprehensive guide of these issues is needed to provide background and understanding about international trade and its relationship with global issues. Global issues occasionally dominate a continuing theme of the international globalized world: global crises, war, security issues, global pandemics such as COVID-19, and trade wars. Global cooperation is required to solve such problems. Economically intellectual thinking will enable the development of guiding policies in solving these global problems. In this book, the effects of global issues on international trade will be evaluated, and policy recommendations will be made for the solution of the global issues. Impact of Global Issues on International Trade is a critical reference source that uses analytic research to analyze the effects of global economic and financial crises as well as global health crises and their impact on international trade. Pandemics such as the COVID-19 pandemic, the global economic crisis, and trade wars are discussed, and political suggestions are made to mitigate negative impacts. Covering a wide range of topics such as financial fragility and trade fairs, it is ideal for trade specialists, policymakers, government officials, managers, executives, economists, academicians, researchers, students, and industry professionals.
Download or read book Financial Crisis Management and Democracy written by Bettina De Souza Guilherme and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-12-09 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book discusses financial crisis management and policy in Europe and Latin America, with a special focus on equity and democracy. Based on a three-year research project by the Jean Monnet Network, this volume takes an interdisciplinary, comparative approach, analyzing both the role and impact of the EU and regional organizations in Latin America on crisis management as well as the consequences of crisis on the process of European integration and on Latin America’s regionalism. The book begins with a theoretical introduction, exploring the effects of the paradigm change on economic policies in Europe and in Latin America and analyzing key systemic aspects of the unsustainability of the present economic system explaining the global crises and their interconnections. The following chapters are divided into sections. The second section explores aspects of regional governance and how the economic and financial crises were managed on a macro level in Europe and Latin America. The third and fourth sections use case studies to drill down to the impact of the crises at the national and regional levels, including the emergence of political polarization and rise in populism in both areas. The last section presents proposals for reform, including the transition from finance capitalism to a sustainable real capitalism in both regions and at the inter-regional level of EU-LAC relations.The volume concludes with an epilogue on financial crises, regionalism, and domestic adjustment by Loukas Tsoukalis, President of the Hellenic Foundation for European and Foreign Policy (ELIAMEP). Written by an international network of academics, practitioners and policy advisors, this volume will be of interest to researchers and students interested in macroeconomics, comparative regionalism, democracy, and financial crisis management as well as politicians, policy advisors, and members of national and regional organizations in the EU and Latin America.

Download or read book Rethinking Free Trade Economic Integration and Human Rights in the Americas written by María Belén Olmos Giupponi and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-01-26 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph offers the first systematic overview of the protection of human rights in trade agreements in the Americas. Traditionally, trade agreements in the Americas were concerned with economic questions and paid little attention to human rights. However, in the wake of the 'new regionalism', which emerged at the end of the last century, more clauses addressing social issues such as labour rights and environmental standards were inserted in trade agreements. As economic integration increased, a framework for the protection of human rights evolved. This book argues that this framework allows for human rights protection on a transnational level, while constructing regional identities. Looking at the four key regional integration processes, namely the Caribbean Community, the Central American Integration System, the Andean Community of Nations and the Southern Common Market, and also at the North American Free Trade Agreement, it shows how the integration process has reached a considerable degree of consolidation. Writing on key sources in English for the first time, this book will be essential reading for all free trade and human rights scholars.
Download or read book En busca de un nuevo El Dorado written by David Khoudour-Castéras and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El propósito de este libro es analizar los factores que han llevado a un éxodo masivo de colombianos y las implicaciones para la sociedad. Se trata de ver si los colombianos logran insertarse en el país de acogida y el tipo de vínculos que desarrollan con su patria. Además, pretende mostrar que pocas veces se cumplen las promesas suscitadas por un nuevo El Dorado, bien sea que este se busque en América del Norte, en Europa o en otras partes del mundo: después de las ilusiones viene el tiempo de las dudas y las decepciones. Por supuesto, historias de éxito también existen. Los cerebros fugados encuentran oportunidades que no tenían en Colombia; los trabajadores clandestinos saben que sus sacrificios significan mejor futuro para sus hijos; los asilados políticos hallan la paz y la libertad de expresión negadas en su tierra natal. Sin embargo ¿contribuye la diáspora al desarrollo socioeconómico? ¿O la emigración sólo constituye una válvula de escape que le permite al gobierno librarse de sus responsabilidades en materia de desempleo y pobreza? Para responder a estas preguntas, el libro está organizado en diez capítulos escritos por especialistas en el tema. Las problemáticas abordadas corresponden a diferentes disciplinas de las ciencias sociales: economía, sociología, antropología, derecho, entre otras. Pero todas apuntan a un solo objetivo: aportar elementos de comprensión al fenómeno migratorio colombiano.

Download or read book Latin American and Caribbean International Institutional Law written by Marco Odello and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is one of the few comprehensive works focusing on the sub-regional institutions in the Latin American and Caribbean region. These organisations and institutions enrich the co-operation at sub-regional level, but, in most cases, are neglected in legal literature. They have mainly economic purposes but they also contribute to new forms of institutional co-operation in other areas, including financial, political and social matters. The volume addresses some of the most representative of these institutions, such as the Mercosur, the Andean Community and sub-regional financial organisations (e.g. Central American Bank for Economic Integration and Andean Development Corporation) as well as new developments including the UNASUR and the Alliance for the Pacific. It provides updated information on the structure and changes of the institutions, and constitutes a valuable resource for those wishing to keep pace with legal developments in the fast-moving world of international institutional law. The book will appeal to a wide audience including researchers and practitioners specialising in international law and international organisations and related disciplines. Marco Odello, JD (Rome), LLM (Nottingham), PhD (Madrid) is a Reader in Law at Aberystwyth University, Wales, UK. Francesco Seatzu, JD (Cagliari), PhD (Nottingham) is Professor of International and European Law at the University of Cagliari, Sardinia, Italy.
Download or read book The Routledge Handbook to the Political Economy and Governance of the Americas written by Olaf Kaltmeier and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-01-09 with total page 538 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook explores the political economy and governance of the Americas, placing particular emphasis on collective and intertwined experiences. Forty-six chapters cover a range of Inter-American key concepts and dynamics. The flow of peoples, goods, resources, knowledge and finances have on the one hand promoted interdependence and integration that cut across borders and link the countries of North and South America (including the Caribbean) together. On the other hand, they have contributed to profound asymmetries between different places. The nature of this transversally related and multiply interconnected hemispheric region can only be captured through a transnational, multidisciplinary and comprehensive approach. This handbook examines the direct and indirect political interventions, geopolitical imaginaries, inequalities, interlinked economic developments and the forms of appropriation of the vast natural resources in the Americas. Expert contributors give a comprehensive overview of the theories, practices and geographies that have shaped the economic dynamics of the region and their impact on both the political and natural landscape. This multidisciplinary approach will be of interest to a broad array of academic scholars and students in history, sociology, geography, economics and political science, as well as cultural, postcolonial, environmental and globalization studies.
Download or read book Trade Agreements Investment Protection and Dispute Settlement in Latin America written by Belén Olmos Giupponi and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2019-01-15 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years many Latin American countries have liberalized their trade and investment regimes, opening their markets to free international trade. At the same time, regional economic integration has boomed. This book is the first systematic analysis in any language of these globally significant developments, and the first comprehensive legal study of dispute settlement relating to foreign direct investment and trade in the region. Undertaken by an expert in the field, this study describes the current institutional framework of Latin American trade and investment law as well as specialized legal issues in the region's various economic blocs. Among the many issues and topics raised the following may be mentioned: • questions of compliance and procedure in the context of today's international investment regime; • formalized dispute settlement mechanisms; • alternative dispute resolution channels, including dispute prevention practices; • legitimacy and transparency of the various dispute settlement mechanisms; • inclusion of social clauses in trade and investment agreements; and • avoidance of investment treaty liability. In order to offer a most accurate view of the effectiveness of the protection granted to foreign investors, special attention is given to relevant case law – completely covering the period 1985–2015 – as well as arbitral precedents before international bodies and in jurisdictions across the region. The book concludes with a critical examination of the future prospects of international economic law dispute settlement in the Americas, pinpointing current trends and unveiling future possible avenues for change. As an in-depth explication of how the rules and principles of international economic law are applied in Latin America, this book has no peers. For practitioners drafting business agreements with Latin American companies, or needing to ensure availability of appropriate remedies, this book's detailed insight into international litigation in the region, including case law illustrating the main topics, will prove to be of immeasurable value. Professionals in the arbitral community worldwide, as well as governments, dedicated research centres and officials in international organizations will welcome this book's model for comparative integration studies, systematic guidance on procedure and case law of domestic and international courts and arbitral tribunals, and extensive treatment of dispute settlement mechanisms in trade and investment agreements.
