الملخص: | In its 50 years, CAN has faced important challenges, some have even threatened its existence. Nevertheless, the fact that it has survived is a testament to its success. On the face of greatly changing political and economic environments, the continuity of its work can be explained by its ability to adapt to the situation. In this half of century, the mechanism has undergone more than one existential crisis and it has tackled each with important self-reforms. These modifications have sought to renew its relevancy. In order to make sense of this adaptation, this article uses grid-group cultural theory to identify the main rationalities or worldviews that have driven this regional integration process. The analysis shows that CAN has mainly moved between hierarchical and individualistic ways of life, and points to some implications for its near future. |
