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.
Combining an analysis of regionalism from a systemic view with a
domestic political-economy analysis, this book sheds light on the
new dynamics and emerging configurations of regionalisms and
interregionalisms in the post-Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).
Donald Trump's presidency has transformed trans-Pacific economic
and political relations, contrasting sharply with President Obama's
'pivot to Asia' strategy. Unilateralism and bilateralism have
returned to the center stage, at the cost of regionalism,
interregionalism, and multilateralism. Understanding these new
dynamics requires closer examination of the underlying domestic
political economies. Examining ten country case studies of
multi-actor agency at the national level, expert contributors argue
that trans-Pacific relations should not only be explained in terms
of the behavior of the major powers, but that medium powers, and
even small countries, can exert influence and occupy strategic
nodes and contribute to shaping a new international relations
network. Their findings will be of interest to scholars of
international relations, international political economy,
regionalism, and international economics.
Regionalism in Latin America and the Caribbean has experienced
transformations over the last few years. After more than a decade
of a hegemonic model based solely on free-market principles, the
regional and global transformation that occurred in the first
decade of the new millennium modified the way of understanding
economic development and the insertion of regional blocs in global
affairs. Old initiatives have been reconsidered, new schemes have
emerged, and new principles going beyond trade issues have modified
the norms and processes of regional economic integration. This book
reviews these recent transformations to depict and explain the new
trends shaping regional blocs and cooperation in the Americas.

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.

Creado en 1991 en un contexto favorable a las ideas de regionalismo
abierto, el Mercosur fue un bloque comercial que en sus primero
anos alcanzo logros que llevaron a describirlo como uno de los
procesos mas exitosos en la historia latinoamericana. Esta imagen
positiva comenzo a desvanecerse a fines de la decada del noventa,
cuando la crisis producida por la devaluacion del Real en Brasil
genero conflictos comerciales y una reduccion de la
interdependencia regional, proceso que se profundizo con el default
argentino de 2001. El ascenso al poder de gobiernos de
centro-izquierda desde el ano 2003 ha estado acompanado por el
impulso de una serie de iniciativas para relanzar el proceso de
integracion del Mercosur y dotarlo de una solida dimension social y
productiva. El presente libro analiza este complejo proceso de
integracion regional, concentrandose no solo en su dimension
comercial, sino tambien en sus aspectos politicos, culturales,
sociales y productivos. En este sentido, el libro incluye trabajos
de destacados especialistas de Argentina, Brasil, Estados Unidos,
Inglaterra, Paraguay, Uruguay y Venezuela. Entendiendo la
complejidad del proceso mercosuriano, el libro adopta un enfoque
multidisciplinario para explicar sus logros y retrocesos y para
presentar escenarios sobre su desarrollo futuro.
