¹ This appears to be the basis for the coverage of Latin America in two books that contain wide-ranging surveys of current research and debates on business history around the world. Each of these volumes has a chapter on developments, advances, and the future agenda of business history in this region.

Between 1965 and 1985 BHR published fourteen articles on Latin America; in comparison, twelve articles on Latin American business history appeared in other English-language journals and twenty-five works, generally books or unpublished doctoral dissertations, were written, primarily in the United States and, to a lesser extent, in Great Britain. It was a scanty record, certainly, for a region of twenty-one countries, not counting the Caribbean islands colonized by the British, French, and Dutch. From 2000 to June 2007, advances in the historiography (economic history as well as business history) of the region had a very limited presence in the leading economic and business history journals. BHR published seven articles and fifty-two book reviews. The latter amounts to a third of the book reviews on the region's economic and business history published by eight top American and European economic and business-history and Latin American area-studies journals.
