The political perspective in the construction of an inter-American economic integration agenda from the Colombian experience

Abstract

This article points out the importance of the political dimension in the unification processes as a scenario for countries to enhance their growth based on their legal system and international legitimacy without detriment to their sovereignty. It also sets out guidelines that, based on the Colombian experience, allow the construction of a political agenda for economic relations within the inter-American framework and oblige the observance of human rights as the main condition for integration.
