The possibility of incorporating flexibility into the principle of multilateral action arose when new provisions were added to the GATT agreement, including one that recognizes nonreciprocity in trade relations among developing countries as a principle compatible with the world organization's rules.
The convergence of macroeconomic policies combined with the process of opening of markets and the need to expand exports began to spur new integration agreements in the region starting in the second half of the 1980s, but this time designed on bases that were substantially different from the earlier ones.

  Asociación Latinoamericana de Integración - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Asociación Latinoamericana de Integración (the Latin American Integration Association; known as ALADI or, occasionally, by the English acronym LAIA) is a Latin American trade integration association, based in Montevideo.
In addition, ALADI is also open to all Latin American countries through agreements with other countries and integration areas of the continent, as well as to other developing countries or their respective integration areas outside Latin America.
As the institutional and normative "umbrella" of regional integration that shelters these agreements as well as the subregional ones (Andean Community, MERCOSUR, G-3 Free Trade Agreement, etc.) it is the aim of the Association to support and favour every effort in order to create a common economic area.

LAIA continues to supply the framework for integration in Latin America and is the most important manifestation of the political desire to promote the integration ideal, both within the region and with other areas.
