Latin American and Caribbean Trade Agreements: Keys to a Prosperous Community of the Americas is the essential reference guide for companies trading with Latin America and the Caribbean or wishing to use a country in the region as an export platform. This work fills the void in academic texts that are used to teach courses on economic integration in the Western Hemisphere. It provides a road map for the Obama Administration to launch an ambitious project designed to encourage economic growth, promote energy security, and reduce harmful greenhouse gas emissions, while at the same time realistically meeting the development needs of Latin America and the Caribbean. Latin American and Caribbean Trade Agreements: Keys to a Prosperous Community of the Americas posits that the myopic focus of past United States administrations on free markets to spur economic development in the Western Hemisphere is not enough. A bolder and more ambitious project that also seeks to redress many of the deep-seated problems that have long plagued the region is required. The Community of the Americas proposed in this book rests upon the important work that has already been done at the sub-regional level in terms of economic and political reform, identifying infrastructure and human capital needs, and regulating migration. It provides a new and cohesive vision for U.S. policy in Latin America and the Caribbean.

For the first time, all the most important Latin American economic integration programs are explored in the same volume in English: the Latin American Integration System (ALADI); MERCOSUR; the Andean Community; the G-3 Accord between Colombia, Venezuela, and Mexico; and the Central American Integration System (SICA). Latin American Trade Agreements explains how all of these sub-regional programs operate and where the opportunities are for foreign direct investors and exporters. It provides concrete examples of companies using the integration projects as part of their strategic business planning for Latin America. It also discusses the many opportunities available in transportation infrastructure develop-ment and intra-Latin American logistics. The Appendices include English translations of the trade agreements and important rules and regulations. Latin American Trade Agreements not only focuses on the rules for trade in goods and services, but also examines how the sub-regional projects and each member state treat subjects as diverse as environmental protection, intellectual property rights, foreign direct investment, as well as labor and tax laws. This looseleaf is an asset to lawyers, trade specialists, and international strategic planners.

If the quality of an education system can never exceed the quality of its teachers, then countries need to do all they can to build a high-quality teaching force.
