Summary:

With the growing importance of emerging markets to the global economy, the focus of analysts has begun to concentrate on the contribution of Latin America and the Middle East, and the relations between these two regions. This has become ever more important with the trend in Latin America to diversify trade relations and establish closer economic and political ties with other emerging economies, including the Middle East and North African (MENA) countries. The Arab World and Latin America examines the relations between these two regions, highlighting their often-overlooked cultural affinities, as well as exploring the political and economic ties that are being developed. As relations with and between countries in the Global South become ever more important for trade and investment, both politically and economically, this volume offers vital analyses for researchers of international relations as well as the politics and culture of the Middle East and Latin America.
