Abstract

[eng] Emerging economies in an interdependent World : the case of Latin America . Until the turn of the century, the reference to a country as an emerging economy had negative connotations : uncertain, risky, « poor » policy making, etc. In the last decade, countries have been able to change this perception to a great extent, as global integration progressed. At the onset of the current crisis emerging countries were presented as the motors of global growth. As the crisis developed, it became clear that emerging economies could not remain isolated in a rapidly deteriorating global economic and financial environment. These economies, however, have behaved relatively well in the mists of the crisis. The reason for this resilience can be found in the policy decisions taken during the boom years that improved theses economies’ fundamentals, allowing them to better withstand the headwinds they have faced. There is still significant work ahead, particularly in terms of improvements in human capital, regulatory framework and infrastructure capital, but the trend shown by emerging economies is quite promising. . Classification JEL : E44, E63, F34, O54. [fre] Jusqu’au tournant du siècle, désigner un pays comme une « économie émergente » avait une connotation négative : incertitudes, risques, piètres décisions politiques et économiques, etc. Au cours de la dernière décennie, certains pays ont réussi à modifier considérablement cette perception, avec l’avancement de l’intégration mondiale. Au début de la crise actuelle, les pays émergents ont été décrits comme les moteurs de la croissance mondiale. À mesure que la crise s’étendait, il est apparu que les économies émergentes ne pouvaient plus se tenir à l’écart d’un environnement économique et financier mondial qui se détériorait rapidement. Pourtant, ces économies ont tenu relativement bien au beau milieu de la crise. Les raisons de cette résilience peuvent être trouvées dans les décisions de politique économique prises pendant les années du boom qui ont amélioré les fondamentaux de ces pays, ce qui leur a permis de mieux résister aux vents contraires. Il reste encore beaucoup à faire, notamment dans l’amélioration du capital humain, des structures de régulation et des investissements d’infrastructures, mais les tendances qui s’affirment dans les économies émergentes sont très prometteuses. . Classification JEL : E44, E63, F34, O54.
