GREENWICH, Conn., Dec. 7, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
- South America has a landmass
that is almost twice as big as either the U.S. or
Europe.
- Even though it is a major producer of essential raw materials,
such as oil, grains and metals, its GDP about half as much
as the U.S. or Europe.
- In order for the region to become a major economic actor on the
global stage, it needs to come together as an integrated
bloc in order to negotiate better terms for its products.
- Doing so should be easy, given its common language, religion
and colonial ancestry.
- However, prior to doing so, it must come to grips with the
various conflicts that drove the countries apart during the
last two centuries.
This book analyzes the seven major conflicts that shaped the map
of South America and established
the deep divisions, buffers and rivalries that are act as obstacles
to greater cooperation, trade and integration. Overcoming these
barriers will help the continent to coalesce and develop into a
superpower that will rival the U.S., Europe and China.
