Brief history
• Cold War (1946 – 1991)
• United States and the Soviet Union(communist) fought together
as allies against the Axis Powers.
• The fear of United States about Post-war Soviet Expansionism in
Eastern Europe led them to conclude that Soviet Union wants to
control the world.

• In 1989, every other communist state in the region replaced its

government with a non-communist one. And by 1991, the Soviet
Union itself had fallen apart.

NEW CONCEPTION OF
GLOBAL RELATIONS
EMERGED FROM
EXPERIENCES OF LATIN
AMERICAN COUNTRIES
As one of the world's most
dynamic regions, Latin
America's transforming
economies offer large-scale
opportunities and challenges
for multinational players.
 During most of the 1980's,
Latin America struggled with
the heavy burdens of the
debt crisis, hyperinflation,
recession and the transition
from authoritarian to
democratic governments.
 The only Latin American
country that systematically
improved its competitive
positioning during the Lost
Decade was Chile.
Countries started adopting
what some analysts call
"democratically led
transformation programs,"
efforts that are widely
known as variants of the
"Washington consensus."
 Mexico in the late 80's,
Argentina starting in 1987-
89 and Brazil in 1990 all
designed transformation
policies that targeted the
following objectives:
 Attaining economic stabilization and a
functioning price mechanism as the fundamental
building block of a capitalist economy.
Creating the conditions for a massive recovery
in domestic demand.
Launching large-scale privatization programs.
Launching regional integration initiatives.
Region shows a remarkable
potential for growth in
consumer durables.
 Because of regulatory and
socio-demographic changes,
most countries in the region
are slated to undergo
significant "discontinuities"
that will create major shifts
in demand:
 There are enormous shortages of decent housing in
the region; estimates of shortfalls range from 3 million
dwellings in Argentina to more than 10 times that
number in Brazil.The growth potential for quality, low-cost
housing is enormous.
 The state-owned pension systems are not viable (as
is also the case in most developed countries).

The population is steadily getting older, and the

growth prospects for services to elderly people are huge.
 In summary, it should be clear by now that the
"emerging clusters" in the north (Caracas-Bogotá-
Quito) and in the south (Santiago de Chile to Belo
Horizonte) offer enormous growth opportunities for
multinationals -- on a scale that can be compared
only to the potential of India's middle class -- in the
consumer goods, durables and service sectors.
REGIONALIZATION
It is the process of dividing an
area into smaller segments
called regions
GLOBALIZATION
It is the process of international
integration arising from the
interchange of world views, products,
ideas, and other aspects such as
technology
ASIAN
REGIONALIZATION
The product of economic interaction,
not political planning. As a result of
successful, outward oriented growth
strategies, Asian economies have
grown not only richer, but also closer
together. In the early stages of Asia’s
economic take-off, regional
integration proceeded slowly.
 ASIAN
REGIONALIZATION
East Asian economies, in particular,
focused on exporting to developed
country markets rather than selling to
each other.

CONTRIBUTING TO
THE GROWTH OF THE
ASIAN INTRA-
