ALVAREZ, Ana María. Challenges for Latin America: The Agenda for Sustainable Development and Negotiations in the Twenty-First Century. Prob. Des [online]. 2016, vol.47, n.186, pp.9-30. ISSN 0301-7036.

This paper discusses some of the challenges related to integration and cooperation in Latin America: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, a clear platform that involves every country in the region, as well as various actors, and trade negotiations in the twenty-first century, in particular, mega-regional agreements whose scopes are limited to a few countries. Latin America is currently exploring the possibilities of convergence and cooperation in a context of diverse geopolitical interests. This will require adopting a flexible and inclusive approach. The experiences of Asia and Africa in this arena will undoubtedly be relevant. Achieving convergence will be crucial to fostering cooperation and coordinating policies to respond to the challenges of globalization. The region will also have to find new resources and models for national and international funding.

Keywords : Sustainable development; 2030 Agenda; funding; regional integration and cooperation; trade and development.
