Does it have any meaning to continue the efforts of a regional integration?

Abstract

Interviewed: Héctor Dada Hirezi (Deputy CDU); Jorge Barraza Ibarra (UTEC); Javier Ibizate (UCA); Carlos Briones (FLACSO); Rafael Rodríguez Loucel (UTEC); Roberto Rubio (FUNDE).
In the world of globalization, it is absolutely necessary to make the greatest efforts to forge our regional integration. The United States is enlarged by the FTA with Canada-Mexico; Europe grows to 25 members, Mercosur tries to strengthen itself to counterbalance the FTAA empire and in Miami, November 2003, they faced the demands of the United States (USA).
The best result of the FTA with the US would have been to seize the opportunity to improve our customs unions, on the way to a Central American Common Market (CACM); but it seems that the opportunity has not been taken advantage of, taking into account that even foreign investors want to deal with Central America and not with small disunited States.
As presidents change the task should be in the hands of technical experts and not politicized.
Actually, we are all those who have to change mini-nationalist mentality. (Let's leave that vision for sports championships, not for the economy).
