Summary/Abstract |
Scholarly analyses explain the economic growth of Latin American-Caribbean (LAC) region over the past 7-8 years largely in terms of the rising consumption of regional exports by the world's two fastest growing economies namely, China and India. In particular, resource export economies of LAC region have benefited rather well from Asia's economic dynamism; others, with capability to export light manufactures and value-added products have not fared bad either.

Summary/Abstract |
Over the last four decades, Chile has evolved from a slow-growing state-directed economy into a fast-growing market-oriented one, attesting to its success in implementing comprehensive neo-liberal economic reforms. At least three policy conclusions emerge from the delineation of Chile's economic transformation trajectory.

Summary/Abstract |
Many attribute the enormous success of the Chilean economy - the best performing in the world outside Asia since 1990, with an average growth rate of 5.5% a year, and now invited to join the OECD, which it is expected to do later this year - to the market access FTAs have gained for Chilean exports. Chile has crafted its own approach to its development needs rather than picking ready-made "off-the-shelf" solutions

Summary/Abstract |
The effectiveness of the Chilean transition from dictatorship to democracy has been widely studied. Critics generally cite the undue influence of the Chilean military in the formative years of the ConcertaciĆ³n and the successive civilian government's unwillingness or inability to deal with the issues of human rights violations and abuses,besides the perennial problem of redistribution, both of which were left unattended during the military dictatorship

Summary/Abstract |
The present paper advances two hypotheses. Firstly, the emerging economies of Asia, which share the same principles, are in for long-term engagement and deepening of ties by Chile. Secondly, since the inception of the twenty-first century, Chile has turned towards South Asia too, especially towards India which has been named the "next frontier" of Chilean economic foreign policy. In the past seven years, as many as nine agreements have been signed between the two countries thanks to a major strengthening of bilateral relations in diverse areas.

Summary/Abstract |
Chile is honing its foreign policy to play the role of catalyst for regional integration and Latin America's integration with the rest of the world. For Chile, the term 'region' means the whole of Latin America and not just South America. Chile being a middle power, it is in its perceived 'national interest' to work for rule-based multilateralism at the regional and international levels

Summary/Abstract |
During the mid-1970s, Chile started a process of radical reforms that laid the foundations of a free-market economy in the country. Openness to foreign trade has usually been identified as a crucial element of these reforms. But one should also keep in mind that these reforms had an important institutional basis.

Summary/Abstract |
There is a broad consensus in Chile that the Asia-Pacific region has become a key geographic, economic and political area of focus within our foreign relations. Since the term of President Patricio Aylwin (1990-1994), Chilean diplomacy in the Pacific has stressed the political factors of stability, rule of law, resilience of public institutions and a low level of corruption in supporting Chile's aspiration to be seen as a suitable Latin American partner of East Asian powers.

Summary/Abstract |
Chile's progress during the last two decades in evolving an appropriate policy framework and needed institutional changes, all with a view to accelerate growth and at the same time reap the benefits from the ongoing globalisation process have been remarkable. Even more important, what distinguishes Chile from other developing countries is its initiation since 1990 under the aegis of the ConcertaciĆ³n de Partidos por la Democracia governments a new set of policy measures based on innovative strategies to deal with critical societal issues such as abject poverty, income inequality and social exclusion.
