CORBELLA, Virginia I.  e  SOUZA, Karla Sarmento G. de. The productive and commercial integration of ALADI and its structural change. Economía UNAM [online]. 2017, vol.14, n.41, pp.90-109. ISSN 1665-952X.

In Latin America it has been an economic speech in favor of regional integration as a tool to expand markets and create conditions for economic development that has given rise to various trade agreements, including the ALADI. The Association aims to promote economic and social development, and thus achieve gradual and progressive establishment of a Latin American common market. The aim is to investigate to what extent the degree of trade integration impacts each production phase and, consequently, to the regional productive integration. The analysis includes the countries of ALADI and its regional arrangements, Mercosur and CAN, as well as the most relevant bilateral agreements for selected years during the period between 1995 and 2013.
