Case Assessment

This study researches the possibilities of improving export receipts through China and its expressed dedication to the region’s development. Using the gravity approach, the study revealed that the Caribbean has yet to exploit available export opportunities with China, thereby warranting a more aggressive and sustained export strategy. A large portion of the region’s exports into China offers significant expansion possibilities. Despite largely unexplored opportunities, the Caribbean is also confronted by various inherent and external challenges. With significant declines in export feasibility, the Caribbean needs to develop an aggressive export-led strategy for a united Caribbean into China. However, caution is warranted when advancing international trade policies. At present, the Caribbean is unable to engender long-standing trade relations to strengthen the dealings with a newer, though growing, partner.

This reply responds to Antonio Alleyne’s (2021) ‘Intensifying Caribbean market share within China: a CARICOM case assessment’, the author’s attempt to investigate the potential for increasing the market share of Caribbean exports in China. The article shows that there are opportunities to increase exports from the Caribbean in more than 50 per cent of the industries considered. These opportunities, however, have been falling over time. The article explores a very interesting topic but suffers from some methodological challenges that might limit the inferences that can be drawn from the study.

Composition Of Trade

To quantify the growth in GHG emissions related to international trade, we build an extensive database for export-related production and transportation GHG emissions covering 189 countries and 10 sectors from 1990 to 2014. We employ this database to quantify the contribution of production and international transportation to total export-related GHG emissions from Latin America and the Caribbean and decompose growth in these to contributions of the increase in the regions trade flows, shifts in the composition of trade partners, changes in the traded product basket, and technological progress.

Beliefs And Values

The international trade problems of the 1980s stimulated an expansion of scholarship on trade policies by economists and political scientists. At least four distinct theoretical perspectives weave their way through recent literature that concentrates on the United States—emphasizing market conditions, policy beliefs and values, national political institutions, and global structures, respectively. New studies in each of these traditions advance beyond the work of their predecessors, but none of the perspectives has yet proved adequate as a single unifying vehicle. Nevertheless, we can also see clear movement toward a synthesis, with single works blending insights from several traditions. Thus, the books under review do not all fall neatly into the familiar exclusive categories of “economics” or “political science.” The emerging synthesis needs strengthening in several ways, including the development of “conditioning hypotheses” that will reduce remaining apparent confusions.
