India: Latin America's Next Big Thing?

Author

Listed:
  • Mesquita Moreira, Mauricio

Abstract

The book looks into recent development and economic trends in India and their possible impact for Latin America and the Caribbean. The study argues that India has the potential to mirror the recent economic performance of China, which has become a major market for Latin American and Caribbean exports but also poses a challenge for the region's manufacturing and service sector.
