Sammanfattning:This article posits that there is a contradiction between the Andean economies' good macroeconomic performance, which has been based on both higher GDP growth rates and lower inflation rates, increased political instability in the Andean Region. The latter of which is fostering the constitution of one of the most conflictive zones in the Americas.
