About the Book

India and Latin America An Alliance for the Future talks about a better understanding of the mutual realities of these two regions, which are crucial in the achievement of constructing a higher quality economic relationship--balanced, diverse, inclusive and long lasting. 

It includes particular case studies which do not involve just simple transaction of natural resources but the building of global value chains, inducing the two economies to practice a balanced inter-dependency. The study is aimed at businessmen, policymakers and researchers in both regions, so it addresses issues that may be of interest to one or the other, always attempting a comparative analysis.
