| Abstract: | Although Argentina and Columbia both joined trade blocs (the Mercosur and the Andean Pact, respectively), which encourage group trade in integration and open-door policies toward countries outside their bloc, in fact progress toward economic improvement has been fitful. Obstacles include, a desire by corporations to retain traditional protections from competition, resentment by business and labor unions of foreign investment, and the higher unemployment that may accompany privatization programs. |
