| Abstract: |
The Hemispheric Social Alliance (HSA) brings together a broad range of organizations from
throughout the Americas united by the conviction that any form of economic integration among our nations must serve first and foremost to promote equitable and sustainable development for all of our peoples. This document expresses our determination to construct an alternative to the dominant integration model based on the proposals described herein.This document addresses the major topics on the official agenda of current trade negotiations (investment, finance, intellectual property rights, agriculture, market access, services, and dispute resolution), as well as issues that are of extreme social importance but which governments have ignored (human rights, sustainability, environment, labor, immigration, the role of the state, and gender). They should be considered as a complete package of proposals for positive economic integration. |
