In the space of ten years two economies that barely traded, let alone exchanged investments, have become major trade partners. Between 2000 and 2008 trade between China and Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) grew at a breakneck annual rate of 31 percent, and even during the financial crisis in 2009 the dynamism remained unabated. China is today among LAC's top trading partners, particularly in countries such as Brazil, Chile, Peru and Argentina. LAC's share of China's trade is still modest, but has been growing fast, and the region figures among China¿s main suppliers of key raw materials such as copper, iron ore, and soybeans.
This volume is a collection of essays presented at the 20th annual Eugene Scassa Mock Organization of American States conference, which is the nation’s only “hybrid” conference including an inter-collegiate competition and simulation of the Organization of American States, a moot court simulation of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, and a traditional academic conference for faculty and graduate students centered on the study of Inter-American relations and politics within the Western Hemisphere. The conference invited recognized authorities and promising new scholars in the vastly varied fields associated with Latin American studies. Taking a broad view of the academic study of the Western Hemisphere, the conference and, subsequently, this volume includes research from fields as diverse as international law, spatial geography, literature, religion, political science, and history. Taken together, these essays provide a fascinating multi-dimensional look at the intricate relationships between the polities and cultures of the Americas.

The report is divided into four parts not including the introduction, with the first offering a brief overview of the China-LAC trade patterns in the previous "take-off" decade, and the concerns that have emerged about the composition and internal geography of the bilateral trade. The second and third parts address two key components of a policy agenda where the governments' actions can be effective in ameliorating these concerns: Part Two takes on trade costs and Part Three covers investment and cooperation. The last part sums up the main findings and policy recommendations to promote a more sustainable, diversified, and less geographically concentrated economic relationship, which could stand on three strong pillars: trade, investment and cooperation.
