Processi di integrazione in America latina: il valore del formante giurisprudenziale

Integration Processes in Latin America: The Impact of the Jurisprudence

Abstract

The essay aims to reflect on the Regional Integration in Latin America: first, by stressing the sense of the concept of “Latin America” from a political perspective; then, by underlining the complex nature of this process. The thesis that is intended to be argued is that the most important advances in the field of regional integration have been produced by the jurisprudence of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, in part by abandoning the European integration model.
