New frontiers in Asia-Latin America integration : trade facilitation, production networks, and FTAs / edited by Antoni Estevadeordal, Masahiro Kawai, Ganeshan Wignaraja. - New Delhi : Sage Publications, 2015. - xiv, 311p. : illustrations ; 25cm.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Economic ties between Asia and Latin America are growing as a part of a global shift toward more South-South cooperation. Yet trade costs remain high, which may impede future interregional trade and integration. Furthermore, an emerging trans-Pacific trade architecture based on free trade agreements (FTAs) carries risks of a noodle bowl effect. This book examines new frontiers in Asia-Latin America integration through interregional comparative studies in three key areas: trade facilitation, logistics, and infrastructure; production networks, supply chains, and small and medium-sized enterprise.
