Although Latin American and Caribbean countries have assigned a high priority to increasing exports in recent years—substantially transforming their economies in the process—export performance in most cases remains deficient. This book investigates why this is so, identifying the policies that determine successes and failures in Brazil, Chile, Colombia, and Mexico.
Each country case study focuses systematically on the macroeconomic environment, its trade and export promotion policies, and the influence of those policies on firms' export behavior. The authors also consider the learning experiences of firms that successfully change their practices in order to compete in global markets. A concluding chapter offers policy recommendations for enhancing export performance within the bounds of the Uruguay Round Agreements.
