Este texto reflexiona sobre UNASUR como ejercicio de integración entre países, un proceso de grandes alcances para Suramérica, región que hasta ahora se ha caracterizado por el subdesarrollo y la desigualdad, pero también por ser democrática y rica en recursos naturales. De manera participativa y consensuada, UNASUR pretende ser un espacio de diálogo, de concertación política y de cooperación, donde no solo se visibilicen las problemáticas, intereses y necesidades en términos económicos, sino que también sea prioritaria la construcción de comunidad, como concepto que hay que fortalecer sobre las bases del desarrollo, ese que representa avance y progreso en lo social, cultural, político, económico y ambiental.
