Abstract
Latin-American countries experienced strong growth in both trade and foreign direct investment (FDI) during the 1990s. The major factors behind this include the recovery of economic growth in the region (mainly because of macroeconomic stabilization) and the multilateral and regional trade liberalization process.
We would like to thank the Chaire Mercosur of the Ecole des Sciences Politiques de Paris for financial support, and comments from participants of its Working Group on EU-Mercosur Negotiations. We are also grateful for the research assistance of Ana Cláudia Loureiro and Camila Alves.
