Abstract

The birth of the Andean Group can be dated with the Bogota Declaration of August 1966. This declaration was signed by the presidents of Chile, Colombia and Venezuela, and by the representatives of those of Peru and Ecuador. In August 1967, Bolivia also signed the Declaration. The purpose of this paper is to describe and briefly evaluate the activities, plans and perspectives of the Andean Group, mainly focused from an economic point of view, such as its plan to accelerate the elimination and liberalization of trade and the creation of the Andean Development Corporation (CORFO Andina).
