Regional market building: institutional strategies

The basic idea behind this paper is that the construction of an internal market under an RIA necessarily requires a new constitution, namely, a focal point around which the countries concerned can agree on a system of shared rules. The possibility of implementing a new constitution is linked to: • The existence of a shared ideology, understood as a connector capable of stabilizing a system of institutions in a new international regime. • The choice of a strategy that over time enables stabilizing the expectations of the States and economic operators, and that in some way “forces” the national institutions to converge on compatible models. The novelty of our paper is in proposing and verifying the conditions of the feasibility of the negotiation strategy according to: • A negotiation based on the concept of the decomposability of the strategies, considered a strategic method typical of procedural rationality.
