description: Latin America is looking toward China and Asia --and China and Asia are looking right back. This is a major shift: for the first time in its history, Latin America can benefit from not one but three major engines of world growth. Until the 1980s, the United States was the region's major trade partner. In the 1990s, a second growth engine emerged with the European investment boom in Latin America. Now the increasing global economic importance of Asia, and in particular China, potentially provides a third engine of growth.This book describes the opportunities and challenges that Latin American economies will face as Chinese importance in the world economy, and in Latin America's traditional markets, continues to grow.
