Abstract

GODOY, Horacio  and  GONZALEZ ARANA, Roberto. The Andean Community of Nations in crisis: The influence of the societal actors. Investig. desarro. [online]. 2009, vol.17, n.2, pp.350-367. ISSN 0121-3261.

This paper analyzes difficulties and limitations in the process of regional integration in the Andean region since the founding of the Andean Pact of 1969 to the present crisis, forty years later, caused by the decision of the government of President Chávez to withdraw from the Andean community of Nations. Political will as an explanatory variable is examined. An alternative analysis, centered on pluralistic view of policy formation in which internal interest groups affect policy outcomes is offered to explain theformation of the political will argument.

Keywords : Regional integration; Andean Community; internal actors; public policy form.
