This book offers a new framework for comparing experiences of
integration: regionalization must be reinterpreted as an aspect of
modernization, modernization unfolding also at the local, national
and global levels. The contributors discuss how and why the
different visions of modernity that inform modernization projects
encouraged the construction (or rejection) of regional integration,
at different times and in different places. It starts with an
analysis of plans for the economic integration of Europe in the
aftermath of World War I. It shows how integration was identified
as the means to modernize the region with a view to helping it
overcome political fragmentation and adapt to new conditions of
global capitalism. It then turns to the debate on modernization
unfolding in the era that constituted the formative period of
integration for both Europe and Latin America. It analyses examples
of the complex interaction between these two different experiences,
as it extends into the present. Finally, it looks at the social and
political actors that promoted integration in the two regions and
at the discourse they formulated to do so.
