China's growing appetite for primary products, and the ability of Latin America to supply that demand, has played a role in restoring growth in Latin America, both in the run-up to the global financial crisis and in its aftermath. However, China is simultaneously out-competing Latin American manufacturers in world markets. China is rapidly building the technological capabilities necessary for industrial development, whereas Latin American technology innovation and sophistication lags considerably.

What drives countries to develop or not develop different nuclear fuel cycle technologies? In particular, why do some countries pursue the development of uranium enrichment and spent nuclear fuel reprocessing technologies (so-called "ENR technology")? As some countries debate whether to start developing ENR technology and others debate whether to continue developing ENR technology, answering these questions are vital for the future of the global nuclear industry.
