Setting the stage The Internet: breaking down the barriers by Fernando Espuelas, StarMedia Network THIS REVOLUTION COMES AT a time when the region is awakening from economic and political stagnation triggered by the aftereffects of centuries of extended colonialism, which has left the region prey to corruption and cronyism. Resulting from this state of underdevelopment, a massive underclass has been deprived from playing an important role in the economic and political process, and has suffered the effects of one of the most skewed systems of wealth and income distribution known to humanity. This systemized exclusion that has left a vast majority of millions throughout the hemisphere voiceless has eroded individual credibility in governments and institutions. It is this void which the Internet is beginning to fill. During the past decade, Latin America has witnessed political corruption and economic inefficiencies yield to greater political pluralism, an extensive wave of privatization and economic deregulation that have in turn increased the number of economic opportunities. These dramatic changes have made Latin American enterprises and economies more competitive in a global context, further integrating local entities into an international patchwork of nations working together to reap the benefits of trade. This trend towards greater trade and collaboration has also extended to the political realm. As nations convene to trade, mutual economic interests have called for the establishment and strengthening of diplomatic ties. As a result, international trade has served as the backbone for a more stable international community of nations. This is already the case in Latin America where trade blocks such as Mercosur are calling for increased intra-national dialogue.

There, a typical immigrant will find everything from fufu, a type of flour, to palm cooking oil to bonga, a smoked, dried fish. Or he can play Whot, cards; or Ludo, a board game, while swigging ginger beer or palm juice to the heady beat of African music. And he'll find Jack, a burly Nigerian who knows most everybody in South Florida's vibrant and growing West African community. ''They all come here to shop,'' said Jack, who came to the United States to study business at the University of Miami in 1975 and never left. Besides running all over the state delivering African goods, Jack these days is often on the phone organizing other West African business people and professionals.

I am here as the Chair of the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, but I also represent the Hispanic Council on International Relations. The U.S. Hispanic Chamber, founded in 1979, represents one of the most important vehicles for reaching Hispanic businesses in the country. Our mission is simple: to advocate on behalf of—and promote the growth of—Hispanic businesses.

In an address to the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce's International Conference, Ambassador Richardson said President Clinton's trade initiatives, including NAFTA, have helped strengthen Hispanic business, and he predicted continued economic growth for Hispanic-owned companies. "The work of the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce could not be more timely, as today our community is experiencing a genuine economic, political and cultural renaissance," said Ambassador Richardson. "Latinos represent the fastest growing consumer market in the country with a purchasing power expected to reach almost a trillion dollars by the year 2010." The U.S. Ambassador to the UN also applauded President Clinton's Latin America trade initiatives, "The Americas is our fastest growing foreign market and by the year 2010, the U.S. will be selling more products to all of Latin America than Europe and Japan combined." Richardson urged Congressional passage of fast track authority for the President, saying, "Passing fast track represents a crucial first step toward creating a hemispheric-wide free trade agreement that will establish a $12 trillion market of 850 million people. A free trade zone in the Americas will ensure that the Western Hemisphere becomes an unmistakably critical hub of the global economy."

Hearing on Pending Nominations Prepared Testimony of Mr. Robert S. LaRussa Undersecretary-Designate U.S. Department of Commerce 10:00 a.m., Friday, July 21, 2000 Mr. Chairman, Ranking Member Sarbanes, and members of the Committee, it is an honor and a privilege to appear before you today as President Clinton's nominee to be Under Secretary of Commerce for International Trade. I appreciate the confidence President Clinton has placed in me and the strong support of former Secretary Daley. Thank you for scheduling this hearing during a very busy time in the session. I appreciate your time and look forward, if confirmed, to working with the members and staff of this Committee on a bipartisan basis. Let me take a moment to thank Congressman Sandy Levin for his introduction. Congressman Levin gave me my first opportunity to work on important trade policy initiatives and I am grateful for his guidance and support. It means a great deal to me that he is here today, supporting my nomination. I also want to thank President Clinton, former Secretary of Commerce William Daley, and Acting Secretary Robert Mallett, for their support of my nomination. In particular, I appreciate the years I have spent working with William Daley, a man I admire for his intelligence, his kindness, and his commitment to public service. Under his leadership, the Department of Commerce has successfully focused on the task of expanding economic opportunity for all Americans. It was a privilege to work at the Commerce Department with him, and if I am confirmed, I will strive to continue his tradition of excellence in public service. I also look forward to working for Congressman Mineta, the Secretary-designate. I am sure that Secretary-designate Mineta will continue to build upon Secretary Daley's legacy and I will be honored to join his team.

NEWSBEAT LINKS The IDB's Eduardo Lora IDB economist urges countries to strengthen democracy, reforms and integration What is the main political challenge facing the region today? Lora: Lora: Lora: Absolutely. Our foremost goal must remain the creation of the Free Trade Area of the America (FTAA). Not only will the FTAA increase specialization and deepen trade links, but it will also lead to institutional modernization, improvements in productivity, and make the region more attractive for foreign direct investment. Lora: Financial integration should also be high on the agenda. A key precondition is the development of the needed institutional framework, including harmonization and integration of the regulatory system. Tax integration is also important, because the tax base for the value added taxes that many Latin American countries rely on is being eroded by the Internet and the globalization of commerce. Tax harmonization can also help to counteract the tendency of some countries to compete for foreign direct investments by granting special tax treatments that erode the tax base. Finally, infrastructure integration efforts

At the end of its 29th session in Brasilia, the commission (Eclac) said that increasing demands for competitiveness posed by globalisation harmed employment, education and social protection interests in the region. Ocampo denies neo-liberal policies have caused harm "Latin America and the Caribbean grew an average of 3% in the past years, while in the period between the 1950s and the 1970s the region was growing at an annual rate of 5%," Eclac executive president José Antonio Ocampo told the BBC's Spanish Service. However, Mr Ocampo denied that economic reforms carried out in most of the region during the past decade had been a waste of time.

Protectionists have wrapped themselves in a cloak of fairness, and each year they discover new moral pretexts to further restrict how American citizens may spend their paychecks. Fair trade is a moral delusion that could be leading to an economic catastrophe. Congressmen are calling for an "economic war" with our trading partners. Starkly protectionist legislation has been passed in recent years by both the House and Senate, only to be stopped by presidential vetoes. American corporations are now running advertisements that seek to inflame hostility to foreign companies. "Fair trade" is widely perceived as a panacea for the U.S.'s international economic problems.

Back to Index Responsibility for Latin America's economic condition Mutual recrimination between Anglo- and Latin Americans is an old story. Responding to any charges from Latin Americans that their woes are largely due to the US., Tim Brown says: "I suspect the blame game concerning who is primarily responsible for the economic conditions in Latin America continue to be played for many more decades, and I will continue to engage in iterations of it beyond the electronic walls of WAIS as well as within them, and that there will always be great passion on both sides. But of all such debates in which I have participated thus far, my favorite took place not on the Net but in the magnificent, gilded and mirrored Board Room of the Lima, Peru Chamber of Commerce. They had invited me to discuss with their Board a paper I had published on the Post-Cold War revolution now underway in the region ["Realist Revolution: Free Trade, Open Economies, Participatory Democracy, and Their Impact on Latin American Politics", Policy Studies Review , Vol. 15 No. 2/3, Summer/Autumn 1998].

Archive The Donohue Letter - November 14, 2002 "Trading Up to Prosperity" By Tom Donohue - President and CEO, U.S. Chamber of Commerce The business community faces a day of reckoning on Tuesday, November 5. The U.S. electorate will choose representatives to fill all 435 U.S. House seats, 34 U.S. senators, and a large number of governors and state officials. A handful of votes in a few key House and Senate races will determine which party controls Congress. Small businesses are responsible for 51% of overall private-sector output in the United States and contribute 30% of the value of exported goods from this country. Clearly, there is a great potential to increase small business participation in exporting American goods overseas. The recent approval of trade promotion authority is a strong signal from the U.S. government that it is once again ready to lead on matters of trade. However, the business community also must take a leadership role in supporting free trade agreements. The first priority should be negotiation of trade agreements with commercially significant trading partners-including a "Doha Round" agreement with the World Trade Organization’s 140-plus members, a Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) that will expand North American Free Trade Agreement’s tremendous successes throughout the hemisphere, and bilateral agreements with Chile and Singapore-each of which will provide important momentum toward trade liberalization.
