The international trade negotiations that were launched
throughout Latin America in the 1990s created significant
challenges for developing countries because of their complexity. In
order to make informed decisions and successfully legitimize
negotiating positions, governments and stakeholders required
research, evidence and data from knowledgeable sources such as
local technicians and academics.
This book provides empirical-based analyses on the role of this
research in the policymaking process. Each case study is based on
primary fieldwork - either at the national or sectoral level -
which was guided by the following overarching questions: Who are
the main actors producing useful research for trade policymakers?
Who are the main financial supporters of such work? What use do
policymakers give to research? The volume offers a deep analysis of
the nexus and interactions between the academic and public spheres,
among researchers and decision-makers. Contributors also address
the main obstacles for creating a virtuous circle between research
and decision-making as they examine the links between the research
centers, think tanks and international organizations who produced
the information and the Latin American governments who used it.
