- Title
MERCOSUR, THE COMMON MARKET OF THE SOUTH -- ECONOMY AND SECURITY.
- Authors

- Abstract
The idea of security in areas such as South America, South Africa or even Southern Asia differs fundamentally from the perception of the Western countries on the same issue. The security aspects in these regions envisage mainly threats of an internal nature and to a lower degree threats from outside national borders. The security implications for them mean to secure some essential systems such as to ensure food and healthcare for the population, trade and development, aspects that are closely connected. All these issues represented and still represent challenges to which the countries involved rarely find adequate solutions. Organizations such as MERCOSUR (Mercado Común del Sur, in Spanish) in Latin America, ASEAN (The Association of Southeast Asian Nations) in Southern Asia and SADC (Southern African Development Community) in South Africa are organizations that can decisively contribute to the improvement of relations between the states they represent and, at the same time, to provide security to the regions for which they were created.
