• Abstract:
  The advent of globalization and more integrated international trade has placed increased demands ; on transportation infrastructure. This report assesses the impacts of triangular trade between and among ; the United States, Brazil and China with an emphasis on the effects on the U.S. Southwest region. ; Triangular trade is viewed through a trade corridor analysis of the three sets of bilateral trading ; relationships. Special emphasis is given to the transportation services that delimit the capacity to carry out ; triangular trade with particular attention to the latest developments in services and schedules. While ; international trade trend analysis may point to China’s explosive consumption of raw materials from the ; U.S. and Brazil, this report also signals the increasing Chinese presence in the U.S. and Brazil via ; outsourcing and industrialization, crowding out U.S. and Brazilian domestic industry, and inhibiting ; Brazilian competitiveness in the U.S. Notwithstanding these trends, a counterflow or reverse globalization ; is also beginning to appear where Brazil and China are making investments in each other and the U.S. in ; order to secure their raw materials and access consumer markets. Future analysis of transportation ; infrastructure demand in the U.S. Southwest region may need to be flexible to account for these ; developments, first visible through a trade corridor analysis of the movement of goods across complete ; supply chains.
