Since 1982, most Latin American countries have witnessed slow economic growth and a persistent net transfer of funds to the rest of the world as a result of sharply reduced inflows of private international bank lending and large debt payment obligations. Against this background direct foreign investment (DFI) has received increasing attention as one important element in overcoming the present stagnation-cum-debt crisis as well as in contributing to renewed economic growth. This article explores the possible contributions of DFI to the future economic growth and development of the region.1

World Economic

There are substantial changes in the evolution of world economy and world economic relations. The growth rates of international trade have diminished two-fold, the prices for oil and other commodities have fallen, and the competition on world markets has sharpened greatly. These new trends complicate fundamentally external conditions for the economic development of peripheral regions, especially Latin America. Latin American countries have reached a phase of considerable economic deceleration. Under these circumstances, there is an urgent need for reconsideration of key conclusions made by some Russian experts on the possibilities of the future economic and social growth of Latin America. The author examines the most discussed aspects of the Latin American modern economic situation – the deepening technological gap and slow rates of technological progress, the limited role of internal economic motive forces, the conservation of foreign economic dependence. The future of Latin America’s economic development is uncertain in many respects and will depend greatly on foreign economic conditions. The new world balance opened important additional possibilities for Latin America on world markets. China has converted into the second largest economic partner of the region. But there is a number of complicated problems in their relations that need an urgent regulation. At the same time, the strategic task for Latin America consists in finding of effective ways for further broadening of economic relations with the United States in terms of equality and mutual benefit.

Projected Changes

The following statement was developed by the PREP Advisory Group as part of an effort to inform the Academy membership about plans currently underway for the future of the PREP program. Planning is still in the early stages, but the Department of Education is enthusiastic about the projected changes, including 12 (instead of 10) issues of Pediatrics in Review, a new section in the journal devoted to practice management, and computerized diagnosis and management problems in addition to the Self-Assessment examination. Some of these changes will be phased in during the next 2 years; the new PREP program will actually be launched in January 1992. Please "stay tuned"—as plans continue to develop, we will keep the membership informed. In the meantime, if you have questions, comments, or suggestions regarding PREP, we would be happy to hear from you. You may contact PREP, Department of Education, American Academy of Pediatrics, 141 Northwest Point Blvd, Elk Grove Village, IL 60009-0927.

Development Section

I should like to take the first few moments to express my thanks to the members of the Child Development Section of the American Academy of Pediatrics for this honor. I can think of no recognition of my interest and work in the field that would mean as much to me as this one. Though I can no longer claim to be an up-to-date pediatrician in the treatment of physical illness, in my own mind I remain a pediatrician. I am firmly convinced of the importance of what I call clinical child development to the practice of pediatrics. I will give an illustration of its relevance. This is a clinical observation I began to make years ago about which I have not heretofore reported, except in discussions with trainees and staff. Because of the ease of observing this phenomenon and its diagnostic implications I should like to share it with you at this time. One might call it "The Toddler's Kiss" or alternatively, phrased as a question, "Can He Pucker?" By somewhere around 18 months the healthy, well-cared for toddler is well established in the process of giving and receiving affection. Months earlier he has learned to give a hug upon request and by 18 months most toddlers are able to purse their lips and plant a kiss on the adult's cheek. It is easy, when you have child and parents together, to determine the presence or absence of this ability. It gives you certain kinds of information about the child's development and its absence at age 2 years should lead you to ask yourself certain questions.

Growth Indicators

This research focuses on identifying the main policy strategies that could potentially contribute to the advance of three Latin American economies, namely Brazil, Chile and Mexico towards a green growth model that is social and inclusive, given the actual patterns of development of those economies. With this aim, we first identify and describe past and current policies in each country in terms of economic, social and environmental indicators. A detailed analysis follows for Brazil, Chile and Mexico, in which we propose a series of green growth indicators and choose a definition and classification of green growth sectors. We estimate an empirical model to explain the determinants of greenhouse gas emissions and deforestation in Latin American countries. We broadly identify the sectors that contribute to its increase and describe the main green policies applied in each country. In turn we identify the sectors with higher potential for the future. Finally, we present policy recommendations and reflections for the future.
