About the product
Bureaucracies in Latin America play a major role in designing and orienting the decisions on trade policy. On the other hand, the Legislative Power assumes an important role in the final stage, when it must accept or reject the terms of negotiations.

This paper examines the way trade policy is formulated in a representative set of Latin American countries.
