\"Acuerdo con Corea debiera tener efecto réplica con otras naciones asiáticas\"


SANTIAGO, ( 16/02/2004 ).- “Valoramos que el Parlamento Coreano haya aprobado el Acuerdo de Libre Comercio con Chile porque ello constituye una señal muy importante respecto a otros mercados asiáticos como China, Japón e India, con los cuales estamos muy interesados en fortalecer nuestras relaciones comerciales”, dijo el Ministro de Agricultura, Jaime Campos Quiroga.

El secretario de Estado indicó que “no debería sorprendernos que, al ser éste el primer Acuerdo que un país sudamericano suscribe con una nación asiática, se genere un efecto de réplica porque, de lo contrario, los demás países asiáticos van a quedar en una condición desmejorada”.

Spanish term (edited): efectos de r�plica

This term is widely used in development sociology. For ex.,
"We also know that risk and uncertainty are often effectively mitigated in the adoption of innovations by the use of "demonstration effects," that is, a modest-scale demonstration that shows how benefits of change may outweigh associated harms."
and
"it is clear that providing new and additional resources for protecting the global environment will not be enough to reverse the earth's deteriorating trend if no attempt is made to create incentive and demonstration effects vis-à-vis all official development aid. It is with this in view that the industrialised countries are inviting the development aid agencies to do more for the global environment than those activities for which the GEF provides them with resources (the " mainstreaming " concept).

A pragmatic learning approach with an incentive purpose

In this situation, to consider the case of France alone, it is clear that the "additionality" of the resources allocated to the FFEM must be evaluated not in terms of essentially formal international undertakings but according to that body's ability to encourage the implementation of innovative projects as part of official development aid. Insofar as FFEM manages to change the traditional approaches of French official development aid, it will demonstrate its "additionality" with respect to that aid. Of course the innovative practices it encourages must also be progressively incorporated into official development aid as such or, in other words, be ultimately implemented with no need for grants from the FFEM. In fact the role of the FFEM (and of the GEF) is not simply to go on financing recurrent additional costs, but to promote a continuing process of developing synergies between development and the global environment."
