Description: "Useful but uneven collection of essays on topics that receive little detailed attention elsewhere. Valuable mainly for the wealth of data and for essays on assembly operations, Mexican-Central American trade, and integration options for Panama. Covers trends since 1960, concentrating on 1980-91. Some essays are long on description but short on analysis"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. [277]-278) and index.
"Most of the chapters ... were presented at a conference held in March 1993 at Florida International University"--Pref.
