Abstract

[From the introduction]. Then, two approaches concerning the integration model can be observed. The first one still accepts the premises of the Washington Consensus and structural reform. Consequently, this approach is consistent with the FTAA integration model. The second one furthers a revisionist view, by proposing an increased state intervention. To some extent these revisionist views, the SACN, seem to be inspired by the EU economic model. Chavez initiatives, such as ALBA, have been supported by Cuba. This paper aims at analyzing these two models of regional integration and determines the extent to which they can be implemented in Latina America.
