  • Marcelo de Paiva Abreu

Abstract

El interés en la culminación exitosa de las negociaciones del Area de Libre Comercio de las Américas (ALCA) de las economías latinoamericanas específicamente es muy heterogéneo. La lista de factores relevantes que explicarían estas divergencias incluye la orientación geográfica del comercio, la composición de las exportaciones, el grado de apertura de la economía, el nivel de protección y el compromiso con la liberalización del comercio. El éxito de las negociaciones del ALCA depende de manera crucial de la convergencia de ideas entre los Estados Unidos y MERCOSUR, especialmente Brasil, en relación al acceso de bienes en sus respectivos mercados internos.
