[governance] critique of the IBSA proposal

[Raul Echeberria]

Mc. Tim

You are right, there is not a single view about EC. 
As a signal of my willingness to discuss the topic, I wrote this article in 2008.

http://raul.echeberria.org/2008/12/enhanced-cooperation-its-meaning-and-progress/

It is a bit outdated, but the essence remains the same. So you can see what is my view about Enhanced Cooperation. 

Best, 

Raúl
