The Caribbean Basin Initiative (CBI) 1981-2005: From Reaganomics of Development to Free Trade

Dr. Florian Pressler

doi:10.5771/9783845236032

Summary

Vor dem Hintergrund des wirtschaftlichen Abstiegs der USA seit den 1980er Jahren beschreibt der Autor die CBI als Schrittmacher für die wirtschaftliche Integration Nordamerikas und als Wendepunkt der amerikanischen Handelspolitik. Das 1981 von Ronald Reagan ins Leben gerufene Entwicklungsprogramm diente den USA zunächst als wirtschaftspolitische Waffe im Kampf gegen linksgerichtete Regime und Guerillas im karibischen Becken. Doch nach dem Ende des Kalten Krieges wandelte sich die Initiative rasch zu einer embryonalen Freihandelszone. Arbeitsintensive Industriezweige in den USA begannen die CBI zu nutzen, um sich vor einer stärker werdenden asiatischen Konkurrenz zu schützen.
