[...] It is the 3rdthird common market in the world after the European Union and the USMCA. The purpose of MERCOSUR is the free circulation of goods, services and production factors. Finally, it is possible to cite the Alba, known as the Bolivarian Alternative, which goes beyond a simple economic alliance. It is a political, cultural and social organization aiming to promote the integration of Latin American and Caribbean countries in globalization. This alliance includes 10 members: Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua, Dominica, Antigua and Barbuda, Ecuador, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Saint Lucia, Saint Kitts and Nevis, and finally Grenada (document 1).

[...] It is also possible to mention the case of Bolivian lithium, which has been able to take into account the external needs of the United States, as indicated in document 3. The continent cannot hope to trade prosperously with the United States as long as the latter continues to have a monopoly on extraction.

It is therefore in its interest to develop its market within the country or continent. [...]
[...] The last 45 minutes will be reserved for an assessment comprising 5 to 7 questions, as well as a map to be completed showing the different activity hubs on the continent, locating one or two Latin American ports, representing exchanges with the outside with arrows and a legend. To help us in the construction of each of the sessions, it will be possible to break down each of the sub-activities. We will take the example of the second session, which is the pivotal session, where a significant amount of information will be delivered to learners about Latin America and its regional insertion and in globalization.

[...] In recent years, the continent has promoted a new transnational capitalist accumulation model, as indicated in document 6. This involves, among other things, what is called 'reprimarization' of its economy. By this, it means that it is returning to the exploitation of these raw materials as the main sources of income for the continent. This involves, among other things, the development of its agriculture as well as the development of productive basic extractions (mining, oil, etc.) or the development of megaprojects around the extraction or exploitation of these raw materials (mines, plantations, hydroelectric power plants).
