LATIN AMERICA STRATEGIC PEST ANALYSIS I
The document analyzes the political, economic, social, and technological (PEST) factors affecting Latin America in 2012. It finds that while the region faces challenges like weak institutions and infrastructure, overall economic growth is relatively positive at 4.1% due to stability and emerging markets. The largest economies like Brazil, Mexico, Chile, and Colombia are leading growth, while countries such as Venezuela and Argentina face greater economic and political instability. Innovation and addressing weaknesses will be important for the region to sustain its progress.

44 Time October 24, 2016
Globalization is usually defined as the free
movement of people, goods and capital. It’s been the
most important economic force of modernity. Until
the financial crisis of 2008, global trade grew twice
as fast as the global economy itself. Yet, thanks to
both economics and politics, globalization as we have
known it is changing fast.
Statistics tell the story: According to the World
Trade Organization, average global trade flows grew
around 10% a year from 1949 to 2008. But those num-
bers slumped to 1.3% from 2009 to 2015 and show
no signs of picking up, even as the global economy
has partially recovered from recession. Meanwhile,
flows of financial capital have become balkanized—
which is to say that after decades of coming closer
together, global markets and banking systems are
pulling apart. While cross-border goods, services and
financial flows represented 53% of the world econ-
omy in 2007, they are a mere 39% now. And there is
a drastic political pushback against the free flow of
people across national borders—globalization at its
most human.
The question is: Have we reached peak trade? “If
you think about globalization in traditional terms, in
terms of old-line trade in goods, for example, then
yes,” says McKinsey Global Institute research direc-
tor Susan Lund. “But if you think of it in terms of the
flow of digital data and ideas, then no—it’s actually
increasing.” Indeed, the cross-border flow of digi-
tal data—e-commerce, web searches, online video,

machine-to-machine interactions—has
grown 45 times larger since 2005 and is
projected to grow much faster than the
global economy over the next few years.
The real questions are whether that activ-
ity will buoy the global economy as much
as trade in physical goods once did, and
whether a more inclusive kind of global-
ization could help counter protectionism,
nationalism and xenophobia.
There’s no doubt globalization has
increased wealth at both global and na-
tional levels. According to the U.S. Coun-
cil of Economic Advisers, the reduction
of trade barriers alone raised U.S. GDP
by 7.3% from the end of World War II
through 2014. But free trade can also
widen the wealth divide within coun-
tries, in part by creating concentrated
groups of economic losers. Free trade

DMCC Future of Trade
The document discusses several topics related to the efficiency of trade systems over the next decade:
- Supply chains will evolve into more open and interconnected "value webs" that span entire ecosystems and help reduce costs, improve service, mitigate risk, and drive innovation.
- Increased use of technologies like RFID, geo-location tracking, and real-time product/temperature streaming will provide more visibility and traceability across supply chains.
- Autonomous vehicles are expected to significantly improve the efficiency of goods movement over the next 10 years, especially reducing the high costs associated with the "last mile" of deliveries.

By many standard measures, globalization is in retreat [1]. The 2008 financial crisis and the
ensuing recession brought an end to three decades of rapid growth in the trade of goods and
services. Cross-border financial flows have fallen by two-thirds. In many countries that have
traditionally championed globalization, including the United States and the United Kingdom, the
political conversation about trade has shifted from a focus on economic benefits to concerns
about job loss, dislocation, deindustrialization, and inequality [2]. A once solid consensus that
trade is a win-win proposition has given way to zero-sum thinking and calls for higher barriers.
Since November 2008, according to the research group Global Trade Alert, the G-20 countries
have implemented more than 6,600 protectionist measures.
But that’s only part of the story. Even as its detractors erect new impediments and walk away
from free-trade agreements, globalization is in fact continuing its forward march—but along new
paths. In its previous incarnation, it was trade-based and Western-led. Today, globalization is
being driven by digital technology and is increasingly led by China and other emerging
economies. While trade predicated on global supply chains that take advantage of cheap labor is
slowing, new digital technologies mean that more actors can participate in cross-border
transactions than ever before, from small businesses to multinational corporations. And
economic leadership is shifting east and south, as the United States turns inward and the EU and
the United Kingdom negotiate a divorce [3].

Differences in Political Economy
The Cold War period pitted the United States against several South American nations, including Chile. The Honduran case was a bit different since the country provided bases for Nicaraguan rebels who were being funded and trained by the United States. Mexico has never been in significant contradiction with the United States, and it has also never played a key role in the America’s intervention in other Latin American nations (Kingstone, 2013).
Lately, the political environments in the three nations, i.e. Honduras, Mexico, and Chile have been favorable to the business community from the United States. Indeed, it is notable that the right-wing authorities in Chile and Mexico have sought to foster closer ties with the United States of America. Such ties have made Mexico become the third largest trading partner of the United States, and this is mainly due to the signing of the North American Free Trade Agreement in 1994. Honduras and Mexico are, however, straggling with a higher rate of crime as compared to Chile, and the instances of political intimidation in the two nations are also apparent (Kingstone, 2013).
The Cultural Barriers
The most notable cultural aspect in Mexico is that individuals regard traditional and family values highly. For instance, many women consider working within their homes as being of more importance than working commercially in organizations. Children, especially those belonging in the middle and high income households, remain in their homes longer than is the case in the United States. This means that they do not have to work unlike is the case in the United States (Baer & Miles, 2013).
In Honduras, it is evident that there has been a significant integration of the Spanish and Native American cultures. The Chilean culture is mainly Spanish. Nonetheless, there are two contrasting strains: the cosmopolitan strain which belong to the urban and affluent population, and another strain which is regarded to be popular with the peasants. The urban strain is educated, and has actually adopted a Westernized lifestyle meaning that people begin working as soon as they complete college (Nicholls, 2013).
Corruptions Perceptions Index (CPI)
Chile is among the Latin American nations which have the least levels of corruption. Indeed, statistics indicate that Chile records lesser instances of corruption than Spain. According to Transparency International, corruption cases in government are isolated, and this makes service delivery more efficient than in such nations as Honduras. In Chile, the Freedom of Information Act makes it mandatory for the government of the day as well as its agencies to avail all the unclassified information to the public. In this regard, all ministries and government agencies possess web pages where information relating to oper.
International business

1. International business involves commercial transactions between private companies and governments across political boundaries for profit and political reasons.
2. It refers to all business activities that involve cross-border trade of goods, services, and economic resources between nations.
3. Studying international business is important for understanding how to conduct business globally and make informed career and policy decisions.

Latin America is experiencing a resurgence of left-leaning politics, with several countries electing leftist presidents in recent years, including Gabriel Boric in Chile, Pedro Castillo in Peru, and Gustavo Petro in Colombia. However, the region also still has right-leaning and centrist governments. Poverty and inequality remain high issues in Latin America. While the middle class has grown, its growth has stagnated in recent years. The COVID-19 pandemic worsened poverty and inequality in most Latin American countries. Looking ahead, Brazil's upcoming election could further impact the region's political landscape.
The Success of Small Countries
The document discusses factors that influence the economic success of small countries compared to larger countries. It finds:
- There is a negative correlation between country size and GDP per capita, indicating smaller countries tend to have higher GDP per capita.
- Older, established small countries make up a large share of the top-ranked countries in terms of GDP per capita, wealth per adult, and human development index scores.
- While new small countries have lower average GDP and wealth than old small countries, wealth inequality tends to be less pronounced in small countries overall compared to larger countries.
- Trade openness, homogeneity of the population, and globalization are positively correlated with economic success for small countries. Intang

Differences in Political Economy
The Cold War period pitted the United States against several South American nations, including Chile. The Honduran case was a bit different since the country provided bases for Nicaraguan rebels who were being funded and trained by the United States. Mexico has never been in significant contradiction with the United States, and it has also never played a key role in the America’s intervention in other Latin American nations (Kingstone, 2013).
Lately, the political environments in the three nations, i.e. Honduras, Mexico, and Chile have been favorable to the business community from the United States. Indeed, it is notable that the right-wing authorities in Chile and Mexico have sought to foster closer ties with the United States of America. Such ties have made Mexico become the third largest trading partner of the United States, and this is mainly due to the signing of the North American Free Trade Agreement in 1994. Honduras and Mexico are, however, straggling with a higher rate of crime as compared to Chile, and the instances of political intimidation in the two nations are also apparent (Kingstone, 2013).
The Cultural Barriers
The most notable cultural aspect in Mexico is that individuals regard traditional and family values highly. For instance, many women consider working within their homes as being of more importance than working commercially in organizations. Children, especially those belonging in the middle and high income households, remain in their homes longer than is the case in the United States. This means that they do not have to work unlike is the case in the United States (Baer & Miles, 2013).
In Honduras, it is evident that there has been a significant integration of the Spanish and Native American cultures. The Chilean culture is mainly Spanish. Nonetheless, there are two contrasting strains: the cosmopolitan strain which belong to the urban and affluent population, and another strain which is regarded to be popular with the peasants. The urban strain is educated, and has actually adopted a Westernized lifestyle meaning that people begin working as soon as they complete college (Nicholls, 2013).
Corruptions Perceptions Index (CPI)
Chile is among the Latin American nations which have the least levels of corruption. Indeed, statistics indicate that Chile records lesser instances of corruption than Spain. According to Transparency International, corruption cases in government are isolated, and this makes service delivery more efficient than in such nations as Honduras. In Chile, the Freedom of Information Act makes it mandatory for the government of the day as well as its agencies to avail all the unclassified information to the public. In this regard, all ministries and government agencies possess web pages where information relating to oper.

Atlantico LatAm Digital Report 2022.pdf
Latin America is experiencing a resurgence of left-leaning politics, with several countries electing leftist presidents in recent years, including Gabriel Boric in Chile, Pedro Castillo in Peru, and Gustavo Petro in Colombia. However, the region also still has right-leaning and centrist governments. Poverty and inequality remain high issues in Latin America. While the middle class has grown, its growth has stagnated in recent years. The COVID-19 pandemic worsened poverty and inequality in most Latin American countries. Looking ahead, Brazil's upcoming election could further impact the region's political landscape.
