EXECUTIVE TRAINING SEMINAR
Reassessing Latin American Integration: Entering A New Stage?
[ Ссылка ]
After Europe, Latin America is the continent that has seen the most vigorous trend in creating
and reproducing regional integration under different labels and schemes. Interpretation of the
meaning of regional integration/regionalism varies widely depending on the stand point of the
different actors. This seminar seeks to discuss divergent/convergent interpretations on the meaning of
regional integration/regionalism in its different varieties (i.e. economic, political, security driven, etc.)
in Latin America. A distinguished group of highly qualified speakers who have had a leading role in
some of the decisions shaping regional organization/regionalism in the area will discuss their
perspectives on the issue. Additionally, the seminar will offer several training exercises bringing
insights on the functioning of the different regional organizations and some of their institutions.
