Summary/Abstract

There has been considerable concern in Latin America over the implications of increased competition from China for local industry. These concerns include the possibility of "deindustrialization," the increased "primarization" of the region's exports and the difficulties of upgrading manufactured exports into higher technology products. This article examines the impact of Chinese competition both in the domestic market and in export markets on Brazilian industry. It documents the increased penetration of Chinese manufactures in the Brazilian market and the way in which Brazilian exports have lost market share to China in the US, European Union and four Latin American countries. Brazil, because of its more developed and locally integrated industrial sector, is not typical of other Latin American countries and the article also discusses the relevance of the Brazilian experience for the region as a whole.

Summary/Abstract

Regional trade agreements (RTAs) have proliferated in the last few decades in various forms all over the world and now number in the hundreds. In Asia, many came up or were reinforced after the 1997–98 financial crisis. India has signed a number of RTAs (28 as of now) with various Southeast Asian countries and with ASEAN as a whole. Another important development has been India's admission into the Regional Economic Comprehensive Partnership known as ASEAN+6, intended to facilitate Pan-Asian and Asia-Pacific integration, although it poses a risk to Indian industry faced with growing Chinese competition and market penetration.
