As from 2001, the Southern African Development Community (SADC) has embarked on a course to deepen regional integration through restructuring. Under the new structure SADC has centralised the coordination of its activities to the Secretariat in Gaborone. The former Sector Coordinating Units have been merged into four directorates, one of which is the Food, Agriculture and Natural Resources (FANR) Directorate, which comprises, amongst others, the Livestock Development Unit (LDU).

International Environment

Para que uma inserção internacional soberana de uma nação seja viável, deve-se necessariamente dispor de autonomia elevada para decidir acerca de suas políticas internas e externas. No que tange aos recursos naturais sul-americanos, a competição internacional pelas reservas, produção e renda está subordinada às geoestratégias dos Estados hegemônicos, que privilegiam a manutenção da ordem internacional em detrimento da defesa de interesses específicos dos Estados da América do Sul. Neste contexto, o presente artigo busca sistematizar uma estratégia de política externa no qual o uso e proveito dos recursos naturais sul-americanos seja endógeno, realizando uma análise dos principais recursos naturais da região e, simultaneamente, propondo a discussão acerca de uma política externa que abranja a soberania e autonomia dos recursos naturais. Palavras-chave: política externa, recursos naturais, América do Sul, soberania, integração regional.     Abstract: In a competitive and hierarchical international environment, the autonomy in the foreign policy of the States is indispensable for the decision of its internal and external policies. With respect to the South American natural resources, the international competition for reserves, production and income of these funds is subject to geostrategies of hegemonic states, which privilege the maintenance of its status quo in the international system over the defense of specific South America States' interests. In this context, it is essential to formulate a foreign policy strategy in which the use and advantage of South American natural resources is endogenous. By this context, this article aims to conduct an analysis of the main natural resources of the region and, at the same time, proposing the discussion of a foreign policy that covers the sovereignty and autonomy of natural resources. Keywords: foreign policy, natural resources, South America, sovereignty, regional integration.     Recebido em: outubro/2016; Aprovado em: abril/2017.

This chapter presents a review of the determinants of specialization and the main trends in international trade. Globalization, trade agreements, new economic poles, and regional integration represent the most influential trends in international trade. Research in this field shows that the main determinants of specialization are demographic change; advances in technology, investment, and energy; and natural resources. Each of the mentioned determinants of specialization and trends will be discussed and constitute a separate section with relevant research and key findings.
