Latin America in the WTO

Constantine Michalopoulos

Chapter 2 in Latin America, 2002, pp 25-46 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, countries in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) preferred to use the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) and other regional and sub-regional forums rather than the General Agreement on Tariff and Trade (GATT) to promote their international trade agenda. Many Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) countries were not contracting parties of GATT. Those that were, participated only passively in GATT multilateral trade negotiations prior to the Uruguay Round (UR), meaning that they did not engage in a significant way in the mutual exchange of concessions on a reciprocal basis.
