Item Influence of research on public policies : Latin American Trade Network (LATN); a case study(2003) Macadar, L.This paper studies the Latin American Trade Network (LATN), whose principal objective was to create a tool for Latin American countries to position themselves more effectively in international trade negotiations. Neoliberalism is the dominant current in Latin America today, but because LATN researchers do not belong to this orthodox mainstream their influence in economic decisions is difficult to detect. LATN consists of researchers and policy officials from Latin American countries, and people working with international agencies. This Evaluation Report analyses the project "Leading Issues in International Trade Relations–Latin America,” (Project No. 03392), which constitutes the first phase of LATN.Item Négocier un nouveau contexte du commerce international : la recherche à la rescousse de l'Amérique latine(CRDI, Ottawa, ON, CA, 2005) IDRC; Campbell, F.A.Item Negotiating the new world of international trade : research helps Latin America to cope with an expanding trade dialogue(IDRC, Ottawa, on, CA, 2005) Campbell, F.A.Item Agir sur le programme économique mondial : les économies des pays en développement gagnent en importance(CRDI, Ottawa, ON, CA, 2004) CRDI. Section de l'évaluation; Stanley, B.Item Influencing the global economic agenda : developing - country economies are growing in importance(IDRC, Ottawa, ON, CA, 2004) IDRC. Evaluation Unit; Stanley, B.The paper is reviewing attempts to bring about closer contact between researchers and policymakers. The Inter-governmental Group of 24 (better known simply as the G-24), is the voice of the developing world in discussions that set global economic agendas. Bringing researchers together with G-24 representatives provides a mechanism in which dialogue might bridge the gap between research and policy. Officially the project was called the Technical Support Service (TSS), although within the G-24 it was more generally known simply as the Research Program.
