The Role of Emerging Economies in Shaping Global Sustainable Trade Development: Evidence from Latin America

Abstract: With the rapid development of the economy, emerging economies’ vital influence in today’s international trade cannot be ignored. However, I find that in past studies, there was little to systematically talk about how those economies sustainably shape global trade. Especially sustainable development has been set as one of the United nation’s goals, as researchers, we should consider this to ensure we are on the right development track. In the following parts, I mainly discuss the background of the research, proving emerging economies’ significant role in trade and other potential risks emerging economies may face. Finally, I illustrate how emerging economies can enhance the stability and sustainability of global trade.

Keywords: international trade, sustainable development, emerging economies.
