Book Description
As countries large and small, rich and poor are drawn inexorably into the global economy, protectionist policies are proving increasingly inefficient and ineffective for driving growth. The countries of Latin America, which have long pursued agendas of state ownership and heavy regulation of key industries, began to institute a series of reforms in the 1980s and 1990s, designed to promote competition and business creation. However, without the legal and institutional framework to support these policies (and thus guarantee resource-efficient behavior on the part of business owners), the record has been spotty at best. Competition Policies in Emerging Economies features in-depth analysis of two key industries—telecommunications and banking—in several Central American nations to shed light on the dynamics of the transition to deregulation and trade liberalization, and learn from the experiences of these economies. This book has a three-fold purpose: (1) to examine the competition conditions and policies of small developing countries of Central America (and hence cover an area where very little information exists); (2) develop an in-depth analysis of regulation and competition policies in two key industrial sectors with poor competition records (telecommunications and banking); (3) link the former results analysis with other international experiences, in order to derive research and policy recommendations that can be applied to other small, developing, and emerging economies. Featuring discussion of political, legal, economic, financial, cultural, and organization-level issues, the book provides unique perspectives on the forces resisting competitive practices and offers suggestions for overcoming them.

Book Description
This Palgrave Pivot analyzes how six countries in Central America—Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Panama—connected to and through computer networks such as UUCP, BITNET and the Internet from the 80s to the year 2000. It argues that this story can only be told from a transnational perspective. To connect to computer networks, Central America built a regional integration project with great implications for its development. By revealing the beginnings of the Internet in this part of the world, this study broadens our understanding of the development of computer networks in the global south. It also demonstrates that transnational flows of knowledge, data, and technologies are a constitutive feature of the historical development of the Internet.

Book Description
The study measures and analyses the household income growth performance of six countries in Central America between 1990 and 2004. Using national household surveys over the period, new empirical and methodological tools were employed to measure the growth in the incomes of the poor and provide an indication of some of pertinent factors in the trends occurred in the region. The results show that growth effects have been poverty reducing but redistribution effects have in many cases been poverty increasing. Further analyses showed that the inhibiting characteristics of the redistribution trends in Central America were due to a variety of structural inequalities in the social development of the countries of the region.

Book Description
This paper explores the role of earlier trade liberalization and market responses in shaping the emerging trade agenda in North America. The paper draws on experience in Europe in forging a more integrated market to point to the benefits that would accrue to Canadians, Americans, and Mexicans from taking deliberate steps to reduce the impact of border administration, to promote greater regulatory convergence, and to forge the necessary institutional infrastructure to govern deepening cross-border integration.

Book Description
Using survey data on technical assistance projects that was collected by the International Competition Network's Competition Policy Implementation Working Group during 2004 and 2005, the author estimates the effect of different types of technical assistance on several performance measures of recipient competition authorities. According to the author, a clear pattern of results emerges. Taken at face value, and supposing that maximizing the positive effect on recipient authority performance is the sole objective of a technical assistance programme in competition law and enforcement, these findings have implications for the mix of technical assistance activities that could be offered to competition authorities.

Book Description
This publication argues that developing countries with a relatively long expertise in competition policy, such as Argentina and Brazil, may provide a very valuable point of reference for developing countries that have acquired more recently a competition legal and institutional framework. The publication offers a series of recommendations. Publishing Agency: United Nations (UN).

Book Description
El presente trabajo aporta una visión global de la competencia en las telecomunicaciones, con énfasis en los marcos regulatorios en el Istmo Centroamericano. Como marco general, describe las transformaciones que ha experimentado el sector en las últimas décadas en el plano internacional. Se analizan los procesos de privatización y liberalización de las telecomunicaciones en los países estudiados, se elabora un mapa de los operadores y una visión sinóptica del estado actual de las telecomunicaciones. Se comparan las principales normas vigentes para el sector, en particular aquellas relacionadas con la política de competencia, procurando identificar sus aspectos comunes y sus principales diferencias, a fin de identificar las principales materias pendientes para avanzar en el proceso de armonización.
