Notes:
93 p., "To capture how alternative paths for the main participants in the world economy impact Latin America and the Caribbean, this report describes the maze of connections between the Region and the rest of the world, and provides an analysis of the most relevant topics within this labyrinth of connections. Our aim is to consider how Latin America and the Caribbean may fare under different paths taken by the world economy. On the whole, we are optimistic about the Region's prospects. And while we hope for the best, the Region should plan for the worst. In the pages that follow, the Region's resilience and potential reaction to possible shocks is assessed; on this basis, recommendations are proposed." --The Author
