The main research problem addressed in the book is the one regarding the
role that export diversification could play for enhancing economic
growth in Colombia, both in terms of new products and new geographic
markets. The underlying motivation for centering the analysis on the
European Union's market are manifold, reaching from the evident
concentration of exports - both in terms of composition and markets-
that Colombia still shows, to the small amount of empirical studies
analyzing the current status and potentialities of the commercial
relations between Colombia and the European Union.
