Abstract
GIlobalization is one of the most controversial topics of our times. Academic debates range from whether the results are good or bad and for whom, what the development implications are, how it is affecting policy process, and what the possible courses of action and reaction are. The main objective of this chapter is to analyze how globalization affects trade options and, more specifically, how the politics of trade are being played outin the region. Howdo trade demands affectin-countrydecision-making? How do they affect the potential for facing the developmental challenges that are the overall topic of the book?
