Abstract

The European model of economic integration has become an inevitable reference-point for any integration project. The firm and sustained political commitment, the construction of a supranational judicial and institutional system and the common policies and actions designed to consolidate an economic integration, are the three essential components of the model which achieved a «virtuous triangle» capable of favoring economic growth. In Latin America, the diverse integration schemes �despite some advances� confront serious limitations. Without falling into the temptation of oversimple comparisons, the European experience can nonetheless offer useful indications for the region.
