History

- The organization was founded on December 1991 by the Republic of Belarus, the Russian Federation, and Ukraine on the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the creation of CIS as a successor entity to the USSR.

- There are 10 member states of the Commonwealth of Independent States and one Ukraine ob-servation.

Areas of member-states’ joint activities: - Protecting people’s rights and freedoms - Coordination foreign policy - Cooperation in the formation of a common economic space, developing transport and commu-

nication systems - Healthcare and environmental protection - Social issues and immigration policies - Fighting organized crime - Cooperation in defense polices and guarding borders

CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States)

7

- Although the CIS has few supranational powers, it is aimed at being more than a purely symbolic organization, nominally possessing coordinating powers in the realm of trade, finance, lawmaking, and security. It has also promoted cooperation on and cross-border crime prevention.

- Some of the members of the CIS have established the Eurasian Economic Community with the aim of creating a full-fledged common market.

Associated organizations

Free trade area (CISFTA) - In 1994, the CIS countries agreed to create a free trade area, but the

agreements were never signed, so in 2009 a new agreement was achieved to create an FTA by the beginning of 2011.

Eurasian Economic Community- The Eurasian Economic Community originated from a customs union between Be-

larus, Russia and Kazakhstan on the 29 March 1996.[24] It was named the EAEC on 10 October 2000[25] when Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, and Tajikistan signed the treaty. EurAsEC was formally created when the treaty was finally ratified by all five member states in May 2001. Armenia, Moldova and Ukraine hold observer status. EurAsEC is working on establishing a common energy market and exploring the more efficient use of water in Central Asia.

Organization of Central Asian Cooperation - Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan formed the OCAC

in 1991 as Central Asian Commonwealth (CAC).

- In 1998 it became the Central Asian Economic Cooperation (CAEC), in February 2002 it was renamed to its current name.

Common Economic Space: formed in 2003, aiming at monetary union - A Customs Union of Belarus, Kazakhstan and Russia was thus created in 2010 with a

single market envisioned for 2012.

Introduction

Russian Domain includes Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Georgia, and Armenia (all were part of the U.S.S.R.)

Russia is the largest country (in land area) on Earth; it spans 11 time zones

– Rich in resources, but has one of the harshest climates

The Russian Domain has had extremely rapid political and economic change since 1990

– From centrally planned economy to capitalism– From authoritarian dictatorship to democracy– Region’s economy is weak; commitment to democracy uncertain, na-

tionalist movements threaten stability– Ukraine, Belarus, Georgia, Armenia must build global relationships

Russia: Land Frontiers

Russia shares boundaries with twelve countries: - Ukraine, Belarus, Latvia, Estonia, Finland, Norway, Mongolia, North Korea,

China, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan and Georgia.

A boundary that measures 12,880 km (8000 mi.) stretches between the Black Sea and the Pacific ocean.

In the Far East, Sakhalin Island is separated from the northernmost main island of Japan by a 40 km. (25 mi.) strait; even narrower straits separate Japan from the Russian held Kuril Islands

17

Russia: Population

Russian population is declining; from 147,300,000 in 1997, down to 145,500,000 in 2002.

- Russia rank 8th in population among the countries of the world.

- Russia has 2.30% of the world’s population.

- A little more than a century ago, Russia had twice as many inhabitants as the U.S.; now Russia has about one-half the U.S. population.

18

Russia: Resources

- Russia has a rich resource base.

- One of the most important mineral producing countries with widely scat-tered deposits.

- Russia leads the world in the production of natural gas and lead.

- Russia also leads the world in iron ore reserves and natural gas reserves.

- Russia is second in the production of platinum, tungsten, aluminum and vanadium.

19

Russia: Regions

The Ural Mountains:– Iron, ferro alloys, copper, aluminum, potash, asbestos, magnesium, low-

grade coal

The Volga-Urals and West Siberian Plain:– Petroleum and natural gas

The Caucasus-Caspian Region:– Petroleum, natural gas, nonferrous metals

Middle Asia:– Coal, copper, iron, natural gas, oil, sulfur, lead, zinc, aluminum, uranium,

ferro alloys, phosphate, asbestos, mercury, sodium sulfate. More than 90% of Russia’s coal reserves are found in Asiatic CIS.

Russia: History Highlights- 1462: Establishment of the Grand Duchy of Muscovy.

- Period of eastward expansion by the Cossacks.

- 1682-1725: Czar Peter the Great

- 1760-1796: Czarina Catherine the Great

- Period of colonialism, imperialism. Major expansions in quest of warm wa-ter ports.

- 1917: Russian Revolution, establishment of Communist government, for-mation of the USSR.

- 1979: USSR invasion of Afghanistan, again in quest of a warm water port.

- 1991: Collapse of the USSR, political reorganization, formation of the Commonwealth of Independent States.

21

Russia: Political Geography

- In 1991, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) was succeeded by the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), which included all the former Soviet republics except Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, and Georgia; these proclaimed their independence.

- Following the devolution of the Soviet Union, the map of the Russian Federation comprises 22 federal republics and two federal cities, Moscow and St Petersburg

- Based on relative location, Russia’s internal republics are classified into five groups:

The Republics of the Heartland:Mordoviya, Chuvashiya, Mariy-el, Tatarstan, Udmirtiya, Bashkortostan, and the Urals Republic

The Republics of the Caucasian Periphery: Dagestan, Chechnya, Ingushetiya, North Ossetia, Kabardino-Balkariya, Karachayevo-Cherkisiya, Adygeya, and Kalmykiya

22

The Republics of the Southeast: Altaya, Khakasiya, Buryatiya, Tyva, Promorskiy Kray (Maritime Republic)

The Republics of the North: Kareliya, Komi, Sakha (Yakutiya)

Yevreskaya (Jewish) Autonomous Region

- Following the election of Vladimir Putin as President in March 2000, one of his first moves was to turn Russia into “a single economic and legal space.” He issued a presidential decree which divided Russia’s 89 re-publics and regions into seven new “federal districts.”:

- Central (Moscow), Far Eastern (Khabarovsk), North Caucasus (Rostov-na-Donu), Northwest (St. Petersburg), Siberia (Novosibirsk), Urals (Yeka-terinburg), and Volga (Nizhny Novgorod).

23

The Fall of the USSR

December 1991

- CPSU formally dismantled - Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS): Loosely organized - Gorbachev resigns as President of USSR.

- Soviet Union ceases to exist.

1991-1999

- Boris Yeltsin dissolved parliament in 1993: New parliament, New constitu-tion.

- Formed Commonwealth of Independent States of CIS - Shock Therapy for Economy - 11 of 15 former Soviet Republics join CIS

Economic Crisis and Low Income CIS

- All three countries suffered an external shock.

- Remittances fell by nearly a third in dollar terms in 2009, from 2008 levels, in all three countries, because of recession in Russian construction industry and depreciation of the Russian rouble.

- Exports fell by 32 percent in Armenia and 16 percent in Kyrgyz Republic.

- Armenia suffered a large fall in FDI.

- Unlike middle income CIS, these economies did not suffer a reversal of private capital inflows, because they had attracted very little short term cap-ital prior to the crisis.

- Adjustment to the external shock was via compression of imports, which fell by 24-27 percent in dollar terms in 2009.

29

External Shock and Real Output

- Armenia was hit very hard, with real GDP falling 14 percent in 2009.

- KY and Tajikistan suffered a slowdown but avoided recession.

- Private investment fell sharply in Armenia and Tajikistan: in Armenia this was a large component of aggregate demand prior to the crisis, which is one of the main reasons why the recession was so severe.

- Private consumption fell in all three countries, because the fall in remit-tances cut household incomes.

- Real exchange rate depreciation dampened the impact of lower remit-tances on household incomes and shifted much of the burden of adjustment to lower private consumer demand to imported consumer goods, thereby avoiding severe falls in demand for non traded goods; this is partly why KY and Tajikistan avoided recession.

Legacies of Colonialism and Conflict

European Colonization

− Before the arrival of Europeans, Sub-Saharan Africa had a complex pattern of kingdoms, states, and tribal societies.− It took Europeans centuries to gain control of this region.− The Disease Factor

• Malaria and other tropical diseases made it difficult for Europeans to establish colonies.

• Quinine made colonization possible.• The wealth of the region made colonization desirable.

− The Scramble for Africa• Berlin Conference of 1884: 13 European countries divided and traded

Sub-Saharan Africa; no African nations• Ethiopia remained unconquered

Development Performance in SSA

❑ 1950s & 1960s Africa: large endowments of natural resources expected to encounter

higher rates of economic growth in post-independence period.

❑ After Independence SSA: the most heavily indebted countries

• Debt Crisis (late 1970s ~ beginning of the 1970s) –cease lending to SSA• Industrialized Western countries : protectionist trade policies +recessions in their own economy• Declining living standards + rising OECD trade barriers

❑ Annual GDP Growth Rate SSA: 1.7% over 1980-90, 2.1% over 1970-97 (growth in agriculture)

42

❑ Annual GDP Growth Rate SSA: 1.7% over 1980-90, 2.1% over 1970-97 (growth in agriculture) East Asia: 7.8% over 1980-90, 9.9% over 1970-97 (growth in industry)

❑ Real GDP Growth SSA: 3% in the late 1970s 1% in the following decade

❑ GDP Per Capita SSA: decline since the early 1980s HPAEs: maintain positive per capita growth rates since 1960s

43

Overview of Development Performance in SSA

- African countries had relatively large endowments of natural resources and hence were expected to encounter significantly higher rates of economic growth in the post-independence period.

- In Sub-Saharan Africa ended up being the poorest, most heavily indebted countries in the world. Poverty is still escalating while many African coun-tries continue to spend more on debt repayments than they do on health care for their people. The debt crisis in the late 1970s prompted the private sector to cease lending to SSA countries by the beginning of the 1980s.

- The decade of the 1980s was a period of a hostile global environment for Africa as the industrialized Western countries began to resort to increasingly protectionist trade policies while the oil shocks induced recessions in their own economies. African nations soon faced rising OECD trade barriers in addition to declining living standards.

44

Growth - Much of the SSA growth was in agriculture, most East Asian growth was in

industry. In SSA, real GDP growth has seen a general decline from about 3% in the late 1970s to about 1% in the following decade, recovering only slightly in the 1990s.

- GDP per capita has been declining since the early 1980s.

Capital Investment and FDI - In SSA as the investment rate declined in the 1980s, productivity fell sharply

and had a negative impact on growth. Contribution of education, although lower than East Asia, has been similar to that of South Asia.

- The contribution of physical capital is very strong in East Asia than in South Asia and even negative in SSA.

- For most African countries, various strategies to attract FDIs have not suc-ceeded insofar as in the absence of large domestic markets, investors are attracted mainly by the potential to extract low-processed products and ex-port to industrialized countries in Europe and North America.

45

Trade and Industrialization

- East Asian economies successfully undertook the transition from import-substitution to export-led industrialization between 1960-1975 when SSA was deeply entangled into ISI. What is noteworthy is that East Asia economies undertook the critical transition when the world economy was ex-tremely conducive to trade and exports and, more importantly, when the in-ternational division of labor was experiencing a drastic shift.

Industrialization and Technology - Countries such as Botswana, Cote d'Ivoire, and Kenya invested productively

in agriculture, but other African countries turned away from their primary ex-port base. In contrast to Southeast Asia, foreign exchange shortages ham-pered industrialization efforts. Because protection and other policies insu-lated manufacturing from the disciplines of the markets, it was possible to start industries and employ technologies that were not always closely re-lated to the resource and factor endowments in Africa.

Economic Development in Africa-Political Economy

Roots of African Poverty

− Environmental limitations and slavery

− Failed Development Policies Economic nationalism: inefficient, often corrupt governments took over

large segments of economy

− Corruption Kleptocracy: a state in which corruption is so institutionalized that

politicians and government bureaucrats siphon off huge percentage of country’s wealth

50

Links to the World Economy

− Most African exports are to EU or to U.S.

− Low connectivity: few phones and TVs (40/1000 people) Multinational providers now competing for mobile-phone customers.

− Aid Versus Investment: More aid than investment; Poverty and political instability discourage investment.

− Debt Relief / Debt Crises: World Bank/IMF will reduce debt for countries with “unsustainable” debt burdens. Savings can be used for basic services.

- Middle-Income Countries: Botswana, Cape Verde, Lesotho, Mauritius, Namibia, Seychelles, South Africa, Swaziland.

- Low-Income Countries: Benin, Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Madagascar, Malawi, Mali, Mozambique, Niger, Rwanda, Senegal, Tanza-nia, Uganda, Zambia.

- Fragile Countries: Burundi, Central African Republic, Comoros, Democratic Republic of Congo, Côte d'Ivoire, Eritrea, the Gambia, Guinea, Guinea-Bis-sau, Liberia, São Tomé and Príncipe, Sierra Leone, and Togo.

- Growth figures for Zimbabwe and Somalia are not included in most IMF metrics.

55

Trends Prior to the Crisis

- The Africa region experienced strong economic growth in recent years, av-eraging 6.5% per year between 2002 and 2007. Growth was facilitated by macroeconomic reforms and driven by high external demand for primary commodities, notably oil and minerals.

- Trade was bolstered by steady growth in industrialized countries and explo-sive growth in emerging economic powerhouses such as China and India. Demand for African commodities drove an investment surge in many coun-tries, with foreign direct investment (FDI) stocks nearly doubling between 2003 and 2007.

- Net private capital inflows—including FDI, remittances, portfolio flows, and other sources—are thought to have quadrupled between 2000 and 2008. These changes followed decades of post-independence economic stagna-tion.

56

- While Africa’s recent growth was driven by the global commodity boom, many other factors contributed as well. Both net oil exporters and oil im-porters experienced growth of over 5% between 2004 and 2008, and in-vestment extended beyond traditional foreign interests in extractive in-dustries.

- The IMF reported in 2008 that Africa’s “fast growers are a diverse group, in-cluding resource-rich and landlocked countries and resource-poor countries that have not had large gains in their terms of trade.”

61

- In many countries, productivity increased and domestic investment im-proved, in part due to remittances from African workers overseas. Domestic demand also grew, notably in telecommunications as mobile phone and internet use spread rapidly.

- Recent growth has been aided by policy reforms, as many African governments have improved economic governance through better banking regulations, oversight mechanisms, and fiscal restraint, which brought down inflation, encouraged private investment, and in-stilled greater macroeconomic stability.

- International debt relief programs may have contributed to these trends. The rate of armed conflict has also declined since the start of the decade, making some countries and the region more attractive to foreign invest-ment.

62

Common Challenges: Diversify to Raise Exports

Source: OECD Development Centre, UN Comtrade, 2008

- In 2007, only 12 increased export volume by 5 percent or more.- Between 2002 and 2006, 29 African countries have further specialized.- The 10 less diversified countries are all oil exporters.- The 5 most diversified are Morocco, Tunisia, South Africa, Tanzania and Senegal.- Diversification should be fostered to sustain growth and fight against rising import costs.

Improving the Competitiveness of African Economies

Short-term Policy Reforms:

- Keeping markets open to trade

- Increasing access to finance through market-enabling policies

Long-term Reforms:

- Infrastructure remains one of the top constraints to businesses in Africa, especially energy and transport

- Education and Health: higher education and training; improved health-care systems key for Africa’s productive potential

- More examples of effective institutions; good governance and strong and visionary leadership may still be improved.

66

Development Challenges

- Economic development is constrained in many countries by numerous struc-tural factors, including a lack of technological investment in agriculture; lim-ited communications and transportation infrastructure; high population growth; high ratios of foreign debt to national income; and the burden of dis-ease.

- Many countries rely on external aid to balance their budgets and provide basic services. Unrest and instability continue in many areas, and few states constitute transparent and representative democratic regimes.

67

- African exports are the least diversified of all developing regions. Many African economies remain reliant on primary commodity exports, which has rendered them vulnerable to external shocks. Natural re-source extraction, while effective at creating growth and drawing for-eign investment, is also associated with high levels of corruption, la-bor exploitation, environmental degradation, and internal displace-ment.

- During recent periods of high resource revenues, oil- and mineral-produc-ing countries failed to use such revenues to further increase produc-tivity, significantly diversify their economies, or improve social ser-vices. Simultaneously, windfall profits may have contributed to already en-demic corruption in some countries.

Recent Development

- Amid signs that the global economy is emerging from the worldwide reces-sion of late 2008 and 2009, African economies appear to be recovering from the crisis with the potential to significantly increase growth rates in the com-ing year.

- Many African governments, particularly those of resource-rich and middle-income countries, lessened the economic blow of the reces-sion by implementing economic stimulus and/or financial sector res-cue packages. Sizable assistance by international financial institutions, with U.S. support, also played an important stabilizing role.

- Still, the drop in economic growth experienced in most African coun-tries in 2008 and 2009 is thought to have significantly negatively af-fected African countries’ ability to make progress in reducing poverty.

African Political Instability Some effective multi-party representative democracies

Effects of Political Instability on Development

Political Effects- Threatens institutions, - Generates risk and uncertainty, and - Creates the potential for vicious downward spirals into disruption, chaos, civil conflict, death and destruction

Economic effects - Reduces savings, as well as foreign and domestic investment - Reduces or destroys investment in human capital - Reduces legitimacy of a government, obstructing effective policy formulation and implementation for the long term - Greater vulnerability of government then promotes patronage payments and corruption rather than long range approaches to policy - Taxation may be distorted to benefit supporters of government rather than being aimed at equity fir the longer term - Pattern of public expenditures may be deformed, reduced, inefficient and ineffective

Colonization of LAC

- The first period of Spanish conquest from 1492 to 1570 established a military presence leading to the destruction/assimilation of native civ-

ilizations, a religious presence (Christianization), and a basic adminis-trative presence in Latin America.

- The second period from 1570 to 1700 saw the official establishment of many settlements by Spanish colonists (regular citizens).

- The third period during the 18th century was a time of reform and politi-cal reorganization in the colonies that lead to revolt, many countries eventually secured independence from the Europian colonial powers.

The Colombian Exchange

• “Columbian Exchange”—transfer of peoples, animals, plants and diseases between the New and Old Worlds

• Inhabitants of the New World lacked immunity for Old World diseases. Diseases overwhelmed native populations.

– Smallpox, measles, malaria, yellow fever

• Vast exchange of plants and animals which changed diets in both regions– New World staples—maize, potatoes and cassava– Old World staples—wheat, olives, rice, bananas, etc.

• European livestock dramatically impacted the New World– Horse—increased the efficiency of hunters (buffalo) and the military capacity of warriors

84

Latin America Economic Characteristics

Diverse economies - Disparity of income distribution - NAFTA member - Subsistence farming - Plantation agriculture - Deforestation - Oil resources--Ecuador, Venezuela, Mexico - Diverse mineral resources

85

Latin America-Introduction

Latin America has 17 countries

- Colonized by Spain & Portugal (Iberian countries)- Large, diverse populations

• 490 million people total• Indian and African presence• 75% of the people live in cities• Several megacities (more than 10 million people)

- Industrialization & development grew since 1960s• Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) proposes to integrate

economies of Latin America, North America and the Caribbean (ex-cept Cuba)

• Natural resource extraction remains important

86

Dependent Economic Growth

Development Strategies - Import substitution: policies that foster domestic industry by impos-

ing inflated tariffs on all imported goods

Most Latin American countries are “middle income” - Extreme poverty in the region, however

Industrialization - Manufacturing emphasized since 1960s - Growth poles: planned industrial centers - Maquiladoras (assemby plants) and Foreign Investment - Maquiladoras: Mexican assembly plants lining U.S.

border (Over millions employes)

87

Economic and Social Development

Primary Exports - Latin America specialized in commodities into the 1950s Bananas, coffee, cacao, grains, tin, rubber, petroleum, etc. - Agricultural Production Since 1960s, agriculture has become more diversified and

mechanized. Machinery, hybrid crops, chemical fertilizers, pesticides, make agriculture very productive

- Mining and Forestry Products Silver, zinc, copper, iron ore, bauxite, gold, oil, gas Mexico, Venezuela, Ecuador export oil Mining becoming mechanized, laying off workers

Logging - Exportation of wood pulp provide short-term cash infusion Plantation forests of introduced species replace diverse native

forests

88

Economic and Social Development

Latin America in the Global Economy - Expansion of European capitalism created Latin American

condition of underdevelopment - Creates prosperous cores and dependent, poor peripheries - Increased economic integration within Latin America and

dominance of U.S. market

Neo-liberalism as Globalization - Stress privatization, export production, and few restrictions on

imports - Benefits include increased trade and more favorable terms for

debt repayment; most political leaders are embracing it - Some signs of discontent with neo-liberalism and support for

reduction of poverty and inequality

89

Economic and Social Development

Dollarization - Country adopts (in whole or in part) the U.S. dollar as its

official currency

- Full dollarization – U.S. dollar becomes only currency Until 2000, Panama was the only fully dollarized Latin

American country, Ecuador also became fully dollarized in 2000, El Salvador considering Limited dollarization more common strategy

- U.S. dollars circulate with country’s national currency Tends to reduce inflation, eliminate fears of currency

devaluation, and reduce costs of trade

90

- Recurrent economic and political crises which have affected the rate of development of all countries in the region;

- Uneven access to technology has resulted in unbalanced digital inclusion in most countries;

- Insufficient investments in human resource development and academic research;

- Low quality of the programs offered by Latin American university, particularly in the field of communications;

- The reduced number of research projects and specialized publica- tions on Public Relations.

Major Obstacles

91

Economic Development

By the 1960s, Latin America faced growing competition from African and Asian nations.

- To reduce dependence on imported goods, many governments encore aged the development of local industries. This policy, called import substitution, had mixed success.

- Over the past 60 years, large areas of land were opened up to farming Much of the best farmland belonged to agribusiness. Commercial agriculture increased the need to import food.

- In the 1980s, the region was rocked by economic crisis.

- In the 1990s, free trade organizations, such as NAFTA, open Latin American economies to larger markets. The mutual support and expand markets of these organizations did bring some economic growth around 2000.

Latin American Industrial Competitiveness

Performance of LAC (Latin American Countries)

- Despite its lead in terms of industrial development (and its location advantages for export-proximity and historical links with US the largest market for developing world exports), LAC’s response has been much less vigorous than that of East Asia.

- Export success in LAC has been highly concentrated, with a few major success combined with many others losing market shares. This suggests that it was not liberalization as such that drove its export acceleration but other, more country specific, factors.

93

- The structure of exports in LAC is less conductive to long-term growth than in East Asia. Most of the growth was in RB, products growing slowly in world trade. Success in dynamic HT products was confined to a tiny few. In fact, the integrated production systems that drove export growth in East Asia largely bypassed LAC, even of the served US mar-kets.

- The few outstanding success in LAC in manufactured exports face se-vere competitive challenges. Export activity is often delinked from local industry and capabilities, and the competitive base will be eroded un-less these links are greatly strengthened. While this is also true of some East Asian countries, others have built impressive local capabilities and even the weaker ones are acutely conscious of the need to develop lo-cal capabilities-and are investing in doing so more assiduously than the leaders in LAC.

94

Status of Latin America and Caribbean

Macro Conditions Improved

- Macroeconomic indicators show positive signs in Latin America and Carib-bean. Inflation has been brought down to single digit levels in most coun-tries where double digit rates were common in the 1990s.

- The region as a whole ran a trade surplus for the last three years, reaching $45 billion in 2005

• Debt service ratio to Gross national income has also fallen by 2.6 percent to 8.8 percent in 2005 compared to 2000. Latin America and the Caribbean: the most urbanized developing re-

gion

- Urban populations are expected to grow by 1.8 percent a year through 2030. Most of this increase will occur in developing regions. No region is more urbanized than Latin America and Caribbean.

95

- In 2005, 77 percent of the region’s population lived in urban areas – al-most as high as high-income economies’.

Infrastructure projects with private participation

- Between 1990-2005, Latin America and the Caribbean had the highest in-vestment in infrastructure projects with private participation.

• The region accounted for more than 40 percent of total investment in in-frastructure projects with private participation

• Three Latin American and Caribbean countries – Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico, are among the top five countries with total investment in infra-structure projects with private participation, 1990-2005.

101

- Latin American leaders were not able to integrate the society for the sake of

a new vision of the nation. In crisis, they were not able to mobilize the na-tional sentiments toward the national endeavors and goals. Instead, many Latin American policy practitioners and political philosophers focused on the fallacy of capitalism, and wished to build a welfare state following the Euro-pean model even before their countries reached the equivalent level of de-velopment to make it meaningful and possible.

- Little efforts have been made to educate the people, and allow higher social mobility. Many Latin American countries invest in higher education more than basic education. This means government education policy does not consider the higher social mobility and national integration as its national ob-jectives. This worsens the dualism of the society and distrust among the dif-ferent social classes.

102

- The private sector of the region has been largely passive in coping with the globalization challenge. many more companies in Latin America tend to stay under protection and keep their current markets only.

- The underdeveloped nature of capitalist entrepreneurship in Latin America may be ascribed to the legacies of the former imperial Spain and Portugal who themselves did not abandon their mercantilist feudal system until 20th century.

- Regional integration was approached as a political objective, not as an economic reality. Although integration endeavors have a long history in Latin America, its integration scope tended to be limited exclusively to its own re-gional boundary.

103

- The current boom provides more room than ever for Latin American gov-ernments to implement any costly programs for sustainable development. Governments should be able to mobilize the nation for the common vision of national development.

- They should invest on basic education and R&D, and they should imple-ment policies particularly to upgrade competitiveness by both public and pri-vate initiatives. This should include soft (education, economic and social contexts of equal opportunities, and to competition-based market system) and hard infrastructural investments to facilitate industrial and regional de-velopment.

- The development of the civil society is indispensable as the last resort. It should influence political leadership to play its role for social integration, and oversee government activities to ensure the integrity of public institutions.

104

- Regional integration may neither be the sufficient condition, nor the neces-sary condition for Latin American countries to prosper in the future. The functional integration can be enhanced only by the improved intraregional hard infrastructure and business interaction schemes, which lag far behind desired.
