Radtke and Marianne Wiesebron, editors1st ed.London :Routledge,2015.1 online resource (196 pages)"An East gate book."Frist published 2002 by M.E. Sharpe.0-7656-0962-2 Includes bibliographical references and index.European perspectives -- Asian perspectives -- Latin American perspectives.This study demonstrates why the global economy and global policies can only be understood by assigning equal importance to actors from different continents and international institutions. The contributors begin by examining the effects of reducing trade barriers through the WTO processes, and the implications for our understanding of market forces, the diminishing capacity of governments, consumer power, and the role of international agreements. They provide fascinating details on how the European Union and Japan develop their own strategies toward emerging Asian and Latin American states, quite separately from the United States.The focus then shifts toward integration processes in Latin America. The book concludes by attempting to make sense of the political principles underlying the complex economic policies of the main actors in today's global economy, focusing on development strategies offered by the World Bank.Regionalism (International organization)Trade blocsLatin AmericaEconomic integrationEast AsiaEconomic integrationEuropeEconomic integrationRegionalism (International organization)Trade blocs.337.1Radtke Kurt W(Kurt Werner),1945-1835306Wiesebron Marianne1871758MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910969865703321Competing for integration4480692UNINA
