Energy, sovereignty, and the digital architecture of sustainable development within Latin American strategic integration

This book aims to propose a new paradigm of strategic integration for Latin America and the Caribbean. It seeks to move beyond traditional trade-based models by focusing on energy, sovereignty, and digital architecture as key pillars for achieving sustainable development in the region. Volume 25 is grounded in the need to address contemporary challenges —such as the global energy transition, geopolitical volatility, and the technological revolution— through an approach centered on collective sovereignty and strategic public policies. It begins by recognizing the limitations of historical integration schemes and seeks to align the regional integration process with the 2030 Agenda. The volume is structured around three core axes: energy integration as a driver of the transition toward clean energy matrices; digital architecture, emphasizing artificial intelligence (ai) for a regional market and the use of stablecoins to promote financial inclusion; and, finally, the role of responsible policy instruments, including the importance of the right to food and family farming. The central argument advanced is that integration should be understood as a strategic tool capable of translating academic debate into viable public policies. The book underscores that energy and digital integration provide an effective pathway for Latin America to manage global challenges—such as climate change and geopolitical competition—while strengthening collective sovereignty, enabling economies of scale, and enhancing international bargaining power. Its primary contribution lies in offering a conceptual and technical roadmap for the region, emphasizing regulatory harmonization and the implementation of integrated policies that impact the real economy and quality of life, thereby ensuring a more sovereign and resilient development trajectory.
