1st week of classes abroad

Meanwhile, at school during our first week we had studied under the lead of professor Jean-Louis Burban who has the experience of having worked for the European Commission which has its headquarters in Brussels. This European Commission represents and upholds the interests of the whole of the EU, drafts proposals for new European legislation and manages the daily work to implement policies and make use of European funds.

The European Commission has consists of 28 countries, each represented by a commissioner. It's like the government of Europe.

Having known how the integration of the European Commission was given, it would be interesting if it could be the case for Latin America. First, it is interesting to note that the integration process should be an advanced economy, rather than the political, as it is a key part in strengthening the process, I can even say that a real integration requires a political project capable of hold.

Either way, the liberal state that prevails in most of the world, Latin America does not have a suitable degree of rationality, being delivered to the pressures of social and political. While it is true that Latin America has resumed its democratic life aimed at the consolidation of the democratic state, but that is not sufficient and requires the existence of political projects based on complementary or similar principles in each country.

For many, this process is a historical imperative. But, on what political project? Does the Mexican, Brazilian, Bolivian, Chilean or perhaps the U.S.? In Latin America, the process looks enviously living the European Union, and we realize we do not have a "regional identity"; we do not have a common political project, and what is worse, we have clearly similar or complementary interests.

In such a scenario, there is no conflict regulation: existing accentuated, the national interest is assessed in reductionist terms, the state is an instrument of lobbyists with the most influence, and instability becomes an inherent factor to dependent development of these countries. This has almost become a vicious circle now, more than ever, is stalled due to the difficult economic problems and therefore instability by affecting the region.

How can propel a process that, in turn, allow the liberalization of regional markets, competition with world markets, political integration of Latin America in the "new world order" and also ensures the stability of the countries around a high level of governance? The problem is complex.

We can not ignore the problems of referrals background are socio-cultural dimensions and, of course, policies that are intertwined with economics, in a circular relationship: economic interests also determine the socio-cultural and political, and these are elements deeply rooted in the structure of Latin American countries.
