 Integración Latinoamericana y del Caribe: 200 años de la carta de Jamaica a la CELACCarlos Julio Martínez Becerra Econógrafos, Escuela de Economía from Universidad Nacional de Colombia, FCE, CID Abstract: The dream of Latin American Integration began in 1815 with the manifesto to the continent known as 'The Letter of Jamaica', it would continue with the Congreso Anfictiónico de Panamá in 1826; but only at the CELAC summit in 2014 was possible to join together all the Latin American and Caribbean countries. For different reasons Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Paraguay were absent from the attempts in the 19th century and part of the 20th century. From the Carta de Chapultepec in 1945 the integration processes take shape from the 50s, with experiences that were inspired by the pure theory of International Trade and specifically the Western European experience. In the 21st century, with the fall of the Berlin Wall and the consolidation of economic openness, a new process of integration began and modified the map of the political power of the continent, conditioned by the foreign policy of the United States and with the emergence of the BRICS as an alternative towards multilateralism.
