Book Description
This book offers a compelling new interpretation of the proliferation of regional trade agreements (RTAs) at the end of the twentieth century. Challenging the widespread assumption that RTAs should be seen as fundamentally similar economic initiatives to pursue free trade, Francesco Duina proposes that the world is reorganizing itself into regions that are highly distinctive and enduring. With evidence from Europe, North America, and South America, he challenges our understanding of globalization, the nature of markets, and the spread of neoliberalism.
The pursuit of free trade is a profoundly social process and, as such, a unique endeavor wherever it takes place. In an unprecedented comparative analysis, the book offers striking evidence of differences in the legal architectures erected to standardize the worldview of market participants and the reaction of key societal organizations--interest groups, businesses, and national administrations--to a broader marketplace. The author gives special attention to developments in three key areas of economic life: women in the workplace, the dairy industry, and labor rights. With its bold and original approach and its impressive range of data, The Social Construction of Free Trade represents a major advance in the growing fields of economic sociology and comparative regional integration.

Book Description
This book analyses the economic implications of the most important regional integration agreement in Latin America, the Southern Common Market (MERCOSUR). Accordingly empirical evidence and theoretical arguments on the costs and benefits of MERCOSUR are provided and the effects of the elimination of custom barriers to intra-regional trade on trade patterns, product differentiation and cost efficiency are quantified. Other issues considered are the obstacles to policy coordination, in particular national divergences in income levels and growth rates. As an up-to-date and comprehensive study of trade flows and economic conditions within the MERCOSUR this book will be an essential reading for all those who wish to get behind the immediate arguments about the future of integration in South America and the prospects of further economic and monetary cooperation in that region.
Customer Reviews:
Everyone studing Mercosur formation should read this book.......2001-03-19
This book analizes the economic implications of Mercosur formation : costs and benefits in reducing and eliminating customs barriers between Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay.
Very useful as un update and to undertand the prospects of future integration in this developing region.
Book Description
Currently, Argentina is one of the most closely watched nations in the world, largely because it has failed to live up to grand expectations and has been experiencing a financial and social meltdown.
In this book, Alejandro Grimson and Gabriel Kessler offer an overview of Argentina's recent history that will contextualize the country's position within the currents of globalization. The authors then consider how globalization is impacting contemporary Argentina-via regional trading blocs, through migrations across its borders, and through the emerging transnational border regions that it shares with other Latin American nations. Overshadowing all of these trends is the current crisis brought on by both international financial institutions possessing an increasing say over how the country is run and internal elites trying to use Argentina's integration into the world financial system to their own advantage. Argentina has long imagined itself as a European nation, qualitatively different from its Latin American neighbors. But recent events are forcing it to change its perception of itself. As the size of Argentina's transnational community continues to swell, and as the nation continues its financial and social implosion, Argentinians are being forced to re-imagine the nation as being Latin American, replete with the histories and problems of that part of the world.

Book Description
The integration process of `The Common Market of the South' (MERCOSUR) has been characterized by serious economic turbulence, including the devaluation of the Brazilian currency and the severe Argentinean monetary crisis. As a response to these difficulties, the adoption of monetary union has emerged as one possible solution to the financial uncertainty which has plagued this region.
Whereas some believe MERCOSUR should become a free trade area, others are convinced that nothing less than full monetary union can bring stability to the region and ease the financial fragility of the member countries. This book discusses the future of MERCOSUR, focusing on monetary union and macroeconomic policy coordination, and addresses a number of important questions including:
• is it possible, or even desirable, to achieve monetary integration?
• what would the pre-conditions be for establishing such a union?
• what would the convergence criteria be for joining the monetary union?
• what are the expected economic consequences for the member countries?
These questions are all addressed with particular reference to the experience of EMU and the lessons which can be learned by MERCOSUR countries, in terms of the difficult transitions they may have to face.
The book brings together a host of distinguished British, Argentinean and Brazilian economists to elucidate the critical policy issues surrounding the merits of monetary union in South America. Financial economists, international monetary economists, international relations experts, academics and practitioners interested in the issues surrounding economic and monetary union will all value the perceptive insights found in this volume.

Product Description
¿Quién informó directamente a Bush, Aznar, Cardoso, Köler e Iglesias sobre la tragedia argentina cuando Fernando de la Rúa huyó en helicóptero de la Casa Rosada? ¿Por qué el gobierno uruguayo decidió firmar un contrato leonino con los socios de los hermanos Rohm en el Banco Comercial? ¿Quién le propuso al presidente Batlle apelar a medidas prontas de seguridad en plena corrida bancaria? ¿Qué movimientos hubo pensando en la sustitución del presidente? ¿Cuántas veces Batlle estuvo a punto de correr la misma suerte que De la Rúa? ¿Qué fue lo que impidió al Uruguay conseguir un Tratado de Libre Comercio con Estados Unidos? ¿Quién decidió la ruptura de relaciones diplomáticas con Cuba?...¿Por qué hasta el último minuto el FMI quiso que Uruguay acabara como la Argentina? ¿Qué motivos llevaron al gobierno de los Estados Unidos a quebrar su política contraria a auxiliar a los países en crisis y disponer el salvataje de Uruguay? ¿Qué misterios insondables se esconden detrás de los efímeros saqueos del 2002? Estas y muchas otras preguntas comienzan a ser respondidas en esta detallada investigación periodística sobre la fenomenal crisis que Uruguay vivió entre el 1º de diciembre del 2001 y el 5 de agosto del 2002. Son 248 días que el autor reconstruye en todo su dramatismo y describe para que se lea como un thriller, con la diferencia de que todo lo que cuenta ocurrió en la realidad. Son 248 días durante los cuales el Uruguay, al decir del presidente, estuvo "haciendo equilibrio arriba de un alambre".
