    * Fernando Eguren
    En Sudamérica, mientras los discursos políticos de varios presidentes acuden de forma permanente a los imaginarios de la integración regional, hay procesos económicos que trascienden el contenido simbólico y, de hecho, lo contradicen o le plantean las inquietudes emergentes de la propia realidad. En el presente artículo el destacado sociólogo peruano Fernando Eguren desmenuza las intersecciones entre un contexto turbulento y las vías, reales e ideales, de una posible integración regional.

    Brazil

    Over the medium time horizon, skill upgrading, differentials in sectoral technological progress, and migration of labor out of farming activities are some of the major structural adjustment factors shaping the evolution of an economy and its connected poverty trends. The main focus of the authors is understanding, for the case of Brazil, how a trade shock interacts with these structural forces and ascertaining whether it enhances or hinders medium-term poverty reduction.

    Paraguay

    This study has at its origin the land
    question in Paraguay, namely that land ownership is highly
    concentrated and has become a source of social conflict in
    the rural areas where one-half of the population lives. A
    central thesis of the study is that the existing patterns of
    land use and ownership, in particular, the very large land
    holdings (Zatifundio), are a reflection in part of the
    almost insignificant land tax that is charged today on rural

    reform. In the project beneficiary groups negotiate directly

    Brazil has developed a community-led,
    market-based approach to land reform in which poor rural
    laborers and farmers, either landless or with insufficient
    land for subsistence, form beneficiary associations through
    which to obtain financing to buy agricultural properties,
