Latin America: Partner Or Provider?


Trade between China and Latin America grew faster than trade between any other two major regions in 2001-10. But Latin America’s dependence on exports of natural resources means it risks sliding towards deindustrialization. How can China help?

Also in this issue:

  • Tom Miller finds China’s “ghost towns” not so scary
  • Andrew Batson and Janet Zhang suggest that investment is perhaps less out-of-control than conventional wisdom would have it
  • Matthew Forney runs his ruler over state-owned natural gas producer ENN Energy
  • Arthur Kroeber likes Ezra Vogel’s life of Deng Xiaoping
