This article, presenting the framework of the monograph, analyses the new scenario developed in the region in recent years, & the possibilities it opens up for a wider & more balanced process of integration, with special reference to recent summits & the role that the social partners & social dialogue can play in the improvement of the labor & social conditions of the people of Latin America.
