Although it has been a bilateral iniciative, this<br />project may have great importance, in the long term, for all Latin America. Its goals are guite<br />broad, involving economic, political, strategic, and cultural variables. Another basic aspect<br />of this project is its commitment with the democratization process of both countries. The<br />successful impact of the Argentine-Brazilian project has been due to the fact that it is mainly<br />an iniciative of Alfonsin’s and Samey’s governments. lts duration however depends on the<br />economic and political stability in both countries, as well as the active participation of their<br />private sectors.</p><p><strong>JEL Classification:</strong> F15.</p> ER -
