South America - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The South American Community of Nations is a planned continent-wide free trade zone to unite two existing free-trade organizations—Mercosur and the Andean Community. South America is thought to have been first inhabited by people crossing the Bering Land Bridge, now the Bering strait, though there are also suggestions of migration from the southern Pacific Ocean.

The newly created South American Community of Nations - JAMAICAOBSERVER.COM Last December 8 in Cuzco, Peru, the heads of states and governments of South America approved the creation of the South American Community of Nations (SACN), and agreed to have its first summit in 2005 in Brazil. The fact that Guyana and Suriname are part of SACN constitutes a strategic linkage between the new South American organisation and Caricom. According to the leaders of South America who represent a little less than 400 million people, it could take at least 15 years to fully integrate their economies, the internal and foreign policies of the Community, and to have a common tariff, a single currency and a SACN passport for every inhabitant of the region. www.jamaicaobserver.com /columns/html/20050204T200000-0500_74496_OBS_THE_NEWLY_CREATED_SOUTH_AMERICAN_COMMUNITY_OF_NATIONS.asp   (999 words)

The defense of sovereignty is essential because all the nations of South America are being defied and challenged by the FTAA (Free Trade Agreement of the Americas] and this pact involves a blow to the sovereignty of each country.

Analysis: South American bloc of promise? - (United Press International) The new South American Community of Nations, agreed to in Cuzco, is being heralded by some leaders as the beginning of true continental integration as once envisioned by South American patriot Simon Bolivar.

On the surface, greater integration would appear to benefit many South American nations, particularly while dealing with first-world trading partners such as the United States, who many leaders here say bully them with unfair trade barriers, tariffs on their goods and subsidies at home. www.washtimes.com /upi-breaking/20041209-062836-8796r.htm   (664 words)
