We consider the homogenization for a very general class of
nonlinear, nonlocal "elliptic" equations. Motivated by the techniques
of the homogenization of fully nonlinear uniformly elliptic second order
equations by Caffarelli- Souganidis- Wang, we show how a nonlocal
version of an obstacle problem can be used to identify the effective
equation in the nonlocal setting.
