Political and economic context of the social agenda

The negative effects of the crisis that hit Mexico and the armed conflict between Ecuador and Peru had a marked impact on the political and economic aspects of the 1995 social agenda. In addition, the economic integration agreements among countries of the region assumed increasing importance, as did their prospective social effects. Discussion also continued on the role of the market, the gradual opening-up of the economies, and the globalization of communications, which are new topics that underline the need to reorganize the State and to re define its functions.
