Abstract

We can argue that the growing income gap between industrialized countries and developing regions is a crucial problem in International Relations. However, neither through trade nor through financial aid any progress has been made towards the international redistribution of wealth. Such is the case in Latin America, a region that requires rethinking its trade relations on an international scale and an increase in external public aid under adequate conditions, as well as advance in the process of regional integration, a fundamental initiative with many obstacles. For this, a common market must be created, supported by its own institutional system that allows coordinating policies on a regional scale, as well as considering financial mechanisms for the mobilization of resources.
