Gallagher in LA Times: China’s Role in Peru
Kevin Gallagher, Professor of Global Development Policy at the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University, said China served as a growth pole in Latin America in the wake of the 2008 global financial crisis.
Gallagher was quoted in a February 25, 2016 article in the LA Times entitled “Peru has copper. China wants it. And now Beto Chahuayllo is dead.“
From the text of the article:
“Finance ministries loved it, and so did the heads of state,” said Kevin Gallagher, a professor at Boston University who studies Chinese investment in the region.
That was especially true in the wake of the world financial crisis of 2008, when exports to the United States and Europe fell. “China became this new growth pole,” Gallagher said.
