Potential Impact

Awareness of the potential impact of emigration on the sending country has been increasing in Latin America during the 1970s. Colombia is the first country in Latin America with high emigration rates that has begun to develop a systematic immigration policy. The policy consists of programs aimed at retaining potential emigrants, channelling and regularizing migratory flows, and providing assistance to migrant workers and their families. This article discusses the context and application of these programs.

Resumen Este artículo ofrece un panorama del estado de la investigación latinoamericana sobre cooperación intermunicipal, un fenómeno que ha adquirido relevancia empírica en la región desde la década de los años noventa. A partir de una revisión sistemática de la literatura y del análisis de contenido de 47 artículos publicados entre 2005 y 2016 en revistas indexadas en WOS, Scopus y LatinIndex, este trabajo informa acerca de los avances de la investigación sobre los condicionantes relevantes, las complejidades de la operación y los diferentes efectos de la cooperación intermunicipal en países de América Latina. Los resultados identifican las brechas de investigación en el estudio de las causas y los factores explicativos de la colaboración como modelo organizacional y gobernanza territorial, como también la falta de estudios de efectividad de dichos arreglos. La identificación de estas brechas permitirá orientar la agenda de investigación futura sobre cooperación entre municipios.

Capsular serotype surveillance of clinical isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae is essential for evaluation of the potential impact of introducing multivalent capsular serotype-based vaccines in Latin America. Here, a previously described sequential multiplex PCR method was revised for optimal targeting of prevalent serotypes in Latin America. The revised protocol successfully serotyped 139/147 pneumococci (94.6 %) from Brazilian children, demonstrating a labour-efficient, accurate method requiring only conventional PCR capability.

Latin America Country

Venezuela, a Latin America country, has faced severe economic crisis since 2015. Among various problems, hyperinflation, a rapid excessive and out-of-control price increases, is the most highlighted one. Analysis from diplomacy, economy, social system, policy and development strategy shows detailed problem of Venezuela. It comes out clear that some current policy and strategy of Venezuela is inappropriate and should be adjusted. Solutions from both domestic side and international aspect can drag Venezuela out of hyperinflation. Several important methods are about welfare system, unemployment, resources potential, and international cooperation.There can be risks because the current situation of Venezuela is terrible. But risks followed by chances. With certain mitigations, risks can be transformed in to opportunities. Though hyperinflation and economic crisis are hard to solve, exploiting traditional resource and exploring potential industries can relieve part of these problems.

Economic Size

Authors analyze the current situation of competitiveness in the region and in selected countries, using available data. They diagnose the level of informal economy in the region. The chapter articulates how informality affects the competitive capability of a country. Recommendations are made on how to tackle informality, based on the current literature on the topic, previous experiences from other countries, and the authors' analysis. This chapter considers the importance of Colombia, Peru, and Mexico to Latin America in terms of economic size, population, and territory. Besides, these countries, along with Chile, form the Alianza del Pacifico (Pacific Alliance), a group of countries that constitutes a basic form of economic integration. Chile is excluded from this chapter since it shows significantly lower levels of informality than the other three alliance members.
