Předběžná náplň práce

This thesis aims to understand South America’s current situation of increased economic growth, political stability, and previously unprecedented levels of autonomy from external powers. Thereby, my thesis aims to familiarize itself with the historical factors that explain the South American context, and understand recent developments, both regional and international, that may explicate the current South American situation. Thereby, my thesis aims to provide a review of integration efforts in the region, and explore the ways in which the recent commitment towards Unasur may differ from the previous initiatives. This includes expanding on what seems to be South America’s political shift to the left, and which suggests that South America is entering into a Post Neoliberal era. Furthermore, the thesis will explore the various areas of potential integration and investigate possible challenges that the true consolidation of Unasur may face. In the light of these findings, my thesis aims to determine the role and potential of Unasur for the South American region.
