Summary:

This data collection provides information on the attitudes of 100 Latin Americans from four institutions -- CEMLA, INCAE, INTAL, and IFLD -- toward Central and Latin American integration and decision-making styles in 1967. Respondents were asked questions about their positions on regional integration, as well as their opinions of LAFTA, the Central American Common Market (CACM), the chances for a Latin and Central American regional economic union, the modalities for achieving this, expected returns from regional integration, the importance of foreign financial and technical assistance for integration, respondents' nations' policies on regional integration, areas in which respondents' nations were organized to effectively participate in integration, the relative interest of their nations' social groups such as merchants, trade union leaders, politicians, military officers, the press, intellectuals, middle class, industrialists, and landowners in integration, and the ease with which their nations could withdraw their commitments to LAFTA and CACM. Other variables probe respondents' opinions of the readiness of Latin and Central American governments for effective participation in regional integration, and the consequences for respondents' nations if integration failed. Additional variables provide information on respondents' preference for more trade with either the United States, Europe, or Latin America, and the steps to be taken to advance the integration process, as well as respondents' perceived relative importance of the fundamental objectives that various theorists have associated with the process of regional integration. Demographic variables include age, nationality, and occupation.... Cf.: http://dx.doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR05507
