It briefly examines MERCOSUR and the Andean Group and how these two efforts failed to achieve promises made under the free trade model of the Washington Consensus. It then analyzes another effort, ALBA, tracing its history, development, organizational structure, and institutions and illustrating ALBA\u2019s failure to achieve its goals. It next examines UNASUR, tracing its origins, mission, organizational structure, institutions, and specialized councils. Finally, Professor Porrata-Doria addresses how the failures of both ALBA and UNASUR to achieve their goals or even survive underscores several important lessons for economic integration organizations."}
