In the first place, it is one of the few regional integration schemes that is not limited to economic objectives alone and claims, at least in theory, to have ambitious political goals. Indeed, the present integration organism called the Sistema de la Integración Centroamericana (SICA—Central American Integration System), has set among its objectives the establishment not only of a free trade zone, but also of a common market and, in the long run, of a political union. Secondly, it also presents a number of original characteristics that deserve particular consideration, such as the fact that the last wave of regional integration started with the establishment of a directly elected parliamentary body, the Parlamento Centroamericano (Parlacen—Central American Parliament), and that the original purpose of this process—not unlike the early efforts in European integration— was to strengthen internal and regional democratization and pacification. Furthermore, it is one of the rare cases of a regional integration scheme where the judicial organ, the Central American Court of Justice, is entrusted with supranational powers and enforceability of its rulings (at least in theory). Still, despite some initial success, the present-day integration process stagnates and regresses at times, while democratic legitimacy elements remain weak and, on occasions, wither. The purpose of this chapter is to analyse the current regional integration process from the point of view of its democratization using the qualitative macroindicators set by International Democracy Watch (IDW) as guidelines, to examine the gradual reversal of the initial drive towards political integration and to draw perspectives for the future.","PeriodicalId":103424,"journal":{"name":"The Europa Directory of International Organizations 2020","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129627374","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The activities of the League from 194-5 to 1955 are analysed in order to illuminate a passing phase in Arab nationalism. \u0000 \u0000Part One of this thesis is an analysis of Islam and some of its political and sociological concepts which have shaped the present Arab trends. This approach allows one to consider the intricate relationship between pan- Islamisn and pan-Arabism. \u0000 \u0000Part Two covers the diplomatic activities, inside as well as outside the Arab world, which led to the birth of the League. Inter-Arab relations, during the Second World War, are studied on the basis of the documentation which has been published by the League about the Arab consultations which preceded the signing of the Charter in March 1945. \u0000 \u0000In Part Three, the work of the League during its first ten years is assessed and evaluated in terns of inter-Arab relations, in particular, and international relations, in general. The emphasis is one the political activities. The Palestinian question is treated as an \"Arab tragedy\" rather than as an Arab-Zionist conflict. \u0000 \u0000The Conclusion is more concerned with Arab nationalism as a movement striving for Arab unity and seeking a doctrine, than with the League which is taken as a transitory institution reflecting inter-Arab tensions and the handicaps in the way of Arab aspirations.","PeriodicalId":103424,"journal":{"name":"The Europa Directory of International Organizations 2020","volume":"184 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1957-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123573525","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
