Some reflexions on the Latin American integration in the light of the European integration

Abstract

In the globalised world, single countries are in a more vulnerable position. For that reason, the countries tend to join regional unions in order to strengthen their international presence. Lately, in Latin America and especially South America, this tendency has been intensified. However, there is lack of powerful organizations which could settle disputes arising between their members. In this regard, we could refer to the experience of organizations with a long track record, such as, for example, European Union. In spite of the current economical crisis, it could be useful for us.
