The Peoples' Dialogue on Alternative Regionalisms is strongly committed to analysis and action to achieve change and to strengthen peoples' participation in proposing and promoting alternative regional development strategies. This Peoples' Dialogue has two inter-related components: a South-South and a South-North Peoples' Dialogue. The South-South Peoples' Dialogue process aims to build on and strengthen work being initiated on regional development strategies and alternatives - within regions (Mercosur, SADC, ASEAN) and at cross-regional level (Latin America-Africa-Asia). The South-North Peoples' Dialogues gives particular focus to EU's policy towards the South (Latin America, Africa, Asia) and seeks to develop bi-regional networks challenging this policy and campaigning on alternatives.

Key proposals for Latin American alternative regional integration : ALBA and TCP

Social Movements & Alternatives
  There are currently several initiatives of alternative regional development being explored by progressive governments in Latin America. The Bolivarian Alternative for the America’s (ALBA) was proposed in  2001 by President of Venezuela Hugo Chavez. The Trade Treaty of the Peoples (TCP in Spanish), proposed by President of Bolivia Evo Morales in March 2006, is considered the trade arm of ALBA.

Together, ALBA and TCP advocate a socially-oriented process of regional integration and are responses to the failure of the neo-liberal model and the current trade and investment regime, based on deregulation, privatisation and the indiscriminate opening of markets.
