Abstract

International trade is a discriminatory process, accentuating
polarization within and among nations. After examining the way in
which integration in the Americas heightens these problems, this paper
describes an alternative framework for the productive incorporation of
significant groups of communities into the global economy. The strategy
for sustainable regional resource management explicitly aims to
overcome rural marginalization, contributing to reduce the force of
the underlying drivers of social conflict. The strategy generally
includes activities to strengthen three fundamental pillars: autonomy,
self-sufficiency and productive diversification. Among the activities
included in such strategies are: ecosystem management, increased
regional production of basic necessities, and productive diversification,
creating opportunities for participation in international trade under
more advantageous terms.
