What Might Trip Up the WTO Font Size: Latin America's Russian Dolls By Alvaro Vargas Llosa Published E-Mail Bookmark Print Save Despite the recent collapse of World Trade Organization talks in Cancun, and despite the fact that the war on terrorism has restricted the flow of people, capital and goods into the United States more than it already was, the ministers of all hemispheric nations are gathering in Miami this month in order to pursue the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA). Is this going anywhere? There is something bizarre about governments negotiating trade deals. After all, it is not governments but citizens who trade. One wonders what effect the tangle of trade negotiations in the Western Hemisphere would have on Richard Cobden, who brought prosperity to Britain after forcing the repeal of the Corn Laws in the mid-19th century and took up Washington's advice: "the great rule of conduct for us in regard to foreign nations is in extending our commercial relations to have with them as little political connection as possible." Whether it is the Free Trade Area of the Americas , the Central American Common Market, the South American Common Market (Mercosur) or the Andean Community of Nations, we have 34 countries locked into contradictory or overlapping accords. They also take part in the Doha Round again, bargaining with each other!

UCSB Home Dept. of Black Studies ... [an error occurred while processing this directive] In ancient times, transporting commodities over any significant distance was an expensive and risky enterprise. Thus, commerce was restricted mainly to local markets, and the most commonly traded articles were foodstuffs and clothing. Most people spent the bulk of their resources on food, and what they neither grew nor gathered themselves they obtained through trade. The same was true of clothing: Garments were either produced and handed down within the family or acquired through trade. In addition to food, clothing, and shelter, the rich devoted their income to conspicuous attire, jewelry, and works of art. As a result, an important trade in luxury items developed.

Home Search Version Español (24 September 2002) U.S. trade officials held simultaneous meetings with their counterparts from Central and South American countries September 24 to advance their common goal of building stronger trade ties within the region and world-wide. In Washington, U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) Robert Zoellick met with the four ministers responsible for trade from Mercosur members Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay. In Managua, Nicaragua, a delegation led by Assistant U.S. Trade Representative Regina Vargo held consultations with Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua which have as a group expressed interest in free trade with the United States. "I am pleased that so soon after September 11 we could stand united with two groups of Latin American nations to advance our shared commitment to openness through increased trade liberalization," Zoellick said in a September 24 news release. The ministers' meeting in Washington was called following the recent International Monetary Fund (IMF) agreement with Argentina, and was held pursuant to the 1991 "Four-Plus-One" Rose Garden Agreement between the United States and the Mercosur countries. The ministers pledged to cooperate to help launch a new round of global trade talks this November and for continued progress on the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA). The Four-Plus-One ministers also said they would reinvigorate the Council on Trade and Investment established by the Rose Garden Agreement, and announced the creation of working groups within the Council in the areas of agricultural trade, industrial trade, investment, and electronic commerce.

The Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA) Click here for (See CAFTA Action Kit!) Organizations Working on CAFTA Información sobre el TLC/CAFTA en Español The Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA), is a regional agreement between the U.S. and five Central American countries: Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua and Costa Rica, the negotiations for the terms of which concluded in December 2003. The Dominican Republic was also "docked" onto the agreement. CAFTA could come up for a vote in Congress as early as July 2004. Based on the NAFTA model, CAFTA would push ahead the corporate globalization agenda that has caused a "race to the bottom" in labor and environmental standards in the U.S. and Central America. CAFTA would also include services provisions promoting the privatization and deregulation of fundamental public services. In addition, CAFTA would remove all tariff barriers in the five Central American countries on imported agricultural products. This would allow cheaply grown and heavily subsidized U.S. corn and other basic grains to flood local markets (subsidies that almost exclusively benefit giant agribusiness in the U.S.). Small farmers in Central America, already devastated by the importation of cheaply grown agribusiness U.S. grains, years of drought, and the massive fall of coffee prices on the world market, would face the extinction of their livelihoods. CAFTA would likely force a massive migration of erstwhile farmers to large urban areas to work in the informal sector or maquilas (sweatshops), or to risk a dangerous journey to seek work in the U.S.

That market for cell phones is exploding, according to a new study by market research firm Dataquest , as a result of falling prices on cell phone services and the land-based problems. The total Latin America market for cell phone handsets is projected to reach 24.5 million units this year, according to Dataquest. Sales of handsets to Latin American countries topped 9.8 million units in the first half of 1999, according to the survey. Phones from Nokia, Ericsson, and Motorola accounted for 78 percent of sales. Analog handsets were selling strongly in the first half of this year, garnering 54 percent of sales, but Dataquest predicts that digital sales will steadily pick up market share in the second half of the year. Analog phones likely will account for only 29 percent of all phone sales in 1999, the study said.
