GONZALEZ MOLINA, Rodolfo Iván. Economic Development in Latin America and the regional integrations in the twentieth century. ecos.econ. [online]. 2012, vol.16, n.35, pp.123-161. ISSN 1657-4206.

This paper discusses some economic integrations in Latin America, which have become an expression of governance in the neoliberalist context. These integrations are also the results of second-generation adjustments in terms of trade openness, sale of state assets, free short-term capital mobility and Asian and European integrations that preceded the regional ones. In addition to this, this paper provides answers to the following questions: Are integrations aiming to achieve development? Would North- countries integrations take the same endangering course as in South America? Who should benefit from the integrations? Is there a link between development and demographics?

Keywords : Governance; integration; common external tariff; immigrant remittances.
