The democratic question in integration: experiences in Latin America
Abstract
With the advancement of modernity, nation-states saw their sovereignty diminish over time and regional integration became an alternative both to securing economic development through trade and the market, and to ensuring that conflicts were no longer the cause of wars. These integration processes occurred differently in different regions and at different times, giving light to the various theories about them. Given the importance of democracy in functionalist theory, we use this theory, within the limitations it presents when applied in other than European processes, to give light to some aspects of Latin American integration and the creation of International Parliaments in the region. The purpose of this work is not to critique the theory or to analyze it more broadly, but to use it as a theoretical contribution to address the importance of democracy in regional integration through International Parliaments.
