it would improve and empower member states, and improve the world

Posted by coleman on 01-24-2008 in Like the EU, should the North/South American countries form a union?

The EU has rules for inclusion, such as allowing free markets. An AU could do the same thing, incentivizing poorer countries to modernize. An AU would also be a framework for accelerating the development of the poor American countries, like the EU. The EU helped Ireland and Spain develop by improving infrastructure and other things in those countries. The U.S. and Canada could do the same for all the other countries in the AU.
