Changing Role

This chapter examines patterns of structural transformation in Latin America, with particular emphasis on the changing role of industrialization and export structures in the region’s development process. The discussion draws on the notion of ‘dynamic efficiency’—that the capacity to constantly generate new dynamic activities, with increasing knowledge contents, is the key to rapid economic growth. The chapter first provides an overview of the commodity export age before analysing the period of rapid industrialization termed ‘state-led industrialization’. It then considers the process of structural change during the period of market reforms, specifically the long de-industrialization that it generated and the more recent re-primarization of the region’s export structure. It shows that state-led industrialization was a period of success for Latin American economies in terms of structural transformation and economic growth, whereas market reforms have been associated with slow economic growth.

Changing Role

The article discusses the role of judges in the development of private international law (PIL). It highlights the changing role of judges in the context of contemporary globalization, and argues that as a result of the expansion of their international duties, judges, in a way that is analogous to the working cycle of the Hague Conference on Private International Law, also have a role in identifying legal issues that must be addressed by PIL, developing tools to address those issues, ensuring the implementation and operation of these tools, and assessing their effectiveness. The article also highlights the contribution of judges to the development of Hague Conventions, and describes the very important role of Latin American judges in the development of special devices to promote the implementation, operation and assessment of the 1980 Hague Child Abduction Convention in Latin America.

The City

<p>With the recent increase in the interest in humanities, there are movements to integrate the various elements of humanities into city construction. Generally, Human Urbanism refers to ‘encompassing humanism in urban spaces and creating cities for people with humans as the core focus.’ The economic growth of can be explained by the compressive economic growth. On the other hand, the rapid economic growth also produced adverse effects. In order to resolve these issues, many cities have already turned their focus from facilities to people. Thus, there has been an emergence of alternative growth cities, and these cities are pursuing the growth method of prioritizing qualitative regeneration and repair instead of quantitative development and expansion. The future tendencies of Human Urbanism are as follows: (1) Towards user-friendly cities are the introduction of barrier-free certification system based on the concept of universal design, construction of women-friendly cities focusing on child care, and the concept of social-mix, which refers to the mixing of people of various income classes. (2) We have started to take into account civil minimum that is appropriate for the city’s characteristics. (3) The role of eco-friendly technologies will be extended even further in future cities. Pre-emptive development of technologies that consider users, suit the unique characteristics of the city and takes the environmental changes into account and their application in the urban settings will be of great importance in our pursuit of human urbanism.</p>
