Abstract

It is difficult for scholars of the political phenomena of economic integration to conceive a legal framework for regional cooperation that is less attractive, conceptually and instrumentally speaking, than that of the Latin American Integration Association (ALADI). The reasons for "justifying" this system are known, whose only indisputable merit (but quite debatable as an intrinsic merit) is that of its great "flexibility". Starting in September 1980, the same countries that, since February 1960, had timidly exercised a predominantly multilateral integrationist connection within the framework of ALALC, placidly surrendered to the development of a regional cooperation scheme governed without counterbalance by "flexibility ", now elevated to the category of "principle" by the Latin American legislator himself. That is why ALADI, ultimately, can only be defined by its results and not by the conceptual analysis of its instruments.
