Beschreibung
This book represents a valuable contribution to the study of Asia–Latin America relations from the unprecedented collaboration of leading Latin American specialists of China, Japan, and Korea, representing views from their respective countries. The academic literature on this topic remains quite limited in spite of rapid expansion of the interregional trade and investment and active engagements to institutionalize relationships in recent years. Especially, the views from Asian academic researchers have not been expressed often. This book reveals why the partnership between the two geographically distant regions has gained more importance recently. The authors also discuss some tensions arising from the intensifying relationship, including the concentration in a few commodities of Latin American exports and the competition of Latin American industry with Asian exports, as well as geopolitical problems.
Analyzes quantitative expansions and institutional fixes in the approaches of three major East Asian economies’ toward Latin America, relationships that have become more important in recent years Presents views of leading Latin American specialists of China, Japan, and Korea with empirically founded and historically contextualized discussions Fills information gaps and corrects some misperceptions among Latin American opinion leaders regarding the growing presence of Asia in Latin America
