The ways of policies of Central American Integration

Abstract

This paper reviews the ways in which the actions of regional policy in the Central American Integration System (SICA) develop. The impetus for the policy agenda for positive integration materializes an incipient process of regional governance that features the institutions of SICA, supported by coalitions of groups formed interest and partners of international cooperation, including plays an important European Union (EU) role. The implementation process reveals the existence of important obstacles to overcome, but it demonstrates its political, legal and institutional feasibility. The most important thing is to provide an opportunity to address common challenges in development taking advantage of the increasing degree of interdependence. At the same time, the integration gives a greater role as a development tool.
