SEBESTA, Lorenza. Integración y desarrollo. Peregrinaciones euro-latinoamericanas en los orígenes []. Relac. int. [online]. 2021, vol.30, n.60, pp.139-158. ISSN 2314-2766.  http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/0.24215/23142766e129.

The article tries to sketch the richness of thinking about integration at the time of the birth of both the European and Latin American regional organizations in the 1950s and 1960s. It does so by offering some insights into the experiences, attitudes, and visions of three paradigmatic European intellectuals who were involved in the debate on integration on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. While the first two, Pierre Uri and Ernst B. Haas, never went beyond a cursory experience and knowledge about Latin America, the third, Albert Hirschman, developed a profound empathy with the whole region. Their different positions on the question of integration, on its economic and political prerequisites and its connection to modernization, offer us convincing evidence of the irreducibility of integration studies to some abstract theories.
