Regional Integration in Latin America - The Pacific Alliance a Way Ahead
Journal Articles, Spanish

The Crafting of a World of Regions

Abstract:
Contrary to the conventional literature studying regional phenomena and according to the avatars of the European experience, I adopt a global and historical reading to explain the crafting of regional configurations as structural elements of the contemporary world space.

First, the article talks about how, from the middle of the 20th century, the regional integration manifests around the planet. Then, I highlight the interdependent relationships of the regionalism boom within the 90’s with the socio-historic process of the free trade barriers elimination. Finally, the article argues the consolidation of the inter-regionalism in parallel to the birth of the trans-regionalism in the 21st century.

Resumen:
Al contrario de la literatura convencional, que estudia los fenómenos regionales según los avatares de la experiencia europea, el autor adopta una lectura histórica y global para explicar la constitución de configuraciones regionales como elementos estructurantes del espacio mundial contemporáneo.

Primero señala cómo, desde mediados del siglo XX, la integración regional se manifiesta en todo el planeta. Enseguida, focalizado en la década de 1990, resalta los vínculos interdependientes del auge del regionalismo con el proceso sociohistórico de supresión de barreras al libre comercio. Finalmente, argumenta que en el siglo XXI se ha consolidado el interregionalismo y, en paralelo, germina el transregionalismo.
