Thinking South America

The south american project would be neither intelligible nor possible if it were simply a case of a change of route or of a consciousness of the existing nation states. Rather, it is first necessary to look at it taking as a starting point the crises which are affecting the political system and the existing state forms. We must observe the manner in which the struggles and conquests of social and indigenous movements allow the possibility to transform the political composition at the heart of each country and simultaneously, challenge the existing composition and role of the state.
