Abstract
The end of the Cold War created new possibilities in the global international relations.One of them was the possibility of developing international cooperation in the different areas.Of course, those changes also included Latin American region and the western hemisphere.Among most important processes we have to mention economic cooperation.It was that time when there appeared new forms of cooperation, such as Central European Free Trade Area (CAFTA) in Europe or Asia -Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) in the South East Asia and the Pacific Region.Also, in the western hemisphere there appeared new forms of integration (MERCOSUR) or the older ones were transformed (Andean Group).Finally, the world biggest economy -the United States -begun to be interested in economic cooperation and integration with its southern neighbors.At 1994 the North American Free Trade Agreement was endorsed and during the first Summit of the Americas the idea of Free Trade Area of the Americas was presented.The aim of the paper is to present the role of economic integration in the U.S. Latin American policy.The motives and interests that push the United States to undertake the economic integration with Latin American countries are revealed.Finally, the answer to the question: 'Can economic integration be an effective instrument of U.S. Latin American policy?' is suggested.During the last quarter of the twentieth century the processes of internationalization significantly increased in their dynamic, intensity and range.A lot of them were of international and even global character.All of that was made possible thanks to two factors: first, the process that some scholars describe as a "second capitalist revolution" and that, most of all, means the great development of mass communication measures; second, the development of neoliberal ideology that promotes interests of transnational companies as well as industrial and financial groups (Kukuka 2000: 242).Due to these factors, different processes of globalization have developed.Progressively these processes contained more and more spheres.This refers especially to information, finances and technology.The advocates of neoliberal ideology envision these processes as the beginning of global society.However, together with the progressing intensification of global processes in international relations, we can also observe something which is called regionalism.This process is the result of special international correlations connected with the geopolitical position, economic development and also history, culture, religion or language.Generally, regionalism can be defined as a cooperation of countries within the frames of a territory, related to the community of interests (Malendowski, Mojsiewicz 1998: 218).Irrespective to the definition of regionalism, it is beyond doubt that in the contemporary world states are not able to develop alone, neither economically nor politically.So, the effect of regionalism is a progressive regionalization understood as a separation of regions on the base of different criteria and regional policies of the

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
