This interdisciplinary edited volume explores the political economy
of regionalism in Latin America. It identifies convergent forces
which have existed in the region since its very conception and
analyses these dynamics in their different historical, geographic
and structural contexts. Particular attention is paid to key
countries such as Argentina, Brazil and Mexico, as well as
subregions like the Southern Cone and Central America. To
understand the resilience of regionalism in Latin America, this
book proposes to highlight four main issues. Firstly, that
resilience is linked to mechanisms of self-enforcement that are
part of the accumulation of experiences, institution building and
common cultural features described in this book as regionalist
acquis. Secondly, the elements and driving forces behind the
promotion and expression of the regionalist acquis are influenced
and shaped by nested systems in which social processes are
inserted. Thirdly, when looking at systems, there is a particular
influence by national and global ones, which condition the form and
endurance of regional projects. Finally, beyond systems, the book
highlights the relevance of agents as crucial players in the
shaping of the resilience of regionalism in Latin America. This
insightful collection will appeal to advanced students and
researchers in international economics, international relations,
international political economy, economic history and Latin
American studies.

Regionalisation has become a central issue in national and
international debates since the end of the Cold War. Yet, when
local contributions to regionalism are considered, these are
generally related to areas related to philosophy, identity and
literature, rather than political economy. Addressing this vacuum,
the authors of this volume argue that autochthonous ideas matter.
Covering macro regional and sub-regional outlooks, as well as
presenting particular national perspectives concerning regionalist
thinking, the contributors consider issues of regionalism where
economics, political science and international relations come
together.
As regionalisation becomes an increasingly hot topic, the authors
explain why regionalism has been most successful in Latin America
and analyse current processes and opinions of possible future
developments in the region, including the Caribbean, Central
America, Brazil, and Mexico.
Brazil and Latin America: Between the Separation and Integration
Paths challenges the "separatist" bias in the vision of Brazilian
relations with its Latin American neighbors. By exploring the
parallel existence of a path of integration, the focus of this
study is on those forces which have intended to forge different
forms of alignment, integration, and, sometimes, rightward union
between Brazil and different Latin American countries. The authors
analyze the ideas and projects inherent in the mindset of elites
even before independence. They show that the path of integration
has been more influential than is generally known. Ultimately, this
book demonstrates the complexity around policy-making, debates on
foreign policy, and the history of shaping the Brazilian self.
