The Interdependence of Democracy and the Processes of Integration

Abstract

The advance of democracy in different regions and access to new communication technologies has resulted in societies with high demands to their governments and a political participation process.

Interdependence as a result of social, economic and political global processes has generated a series of social demands on the efficiency of their governments on the use and management of their development finance, identifying promoters of social agendas which are closer to communities and national and regional integration.

This paper cites two separate regional integration processes in Central America which have initiated a route to the interdependent development through participatory regional development process, which although it is in an initial and inspiring model has become increasingly pragmatic and direct due to its results and philosophy, presenting at the end, a model of a modern and representative state which has never failed as has been stated by some social.
