The focus of this edited volume is twofold: to better understand current regional transformations; and to discuss what new developments mean for how we theorize non-European regionalism and regionalist governance. The book provides an original and grounded analysis of post-hegemonic and post-trade arrangements in the areas of finance, security, development and civil society. By observing these points the authors hope to open a new space for an analysis of the transformative capacity and the political resilience of new regional spaces and institutional arrangements. Theoretically, by focusing on the question of post-trade regional governance we hope to challenge New Regionalist approaches that have usefully embraced issues beyond mainstream EU studies (in particular the links between the regional, the international and the local), yet had assumed regionalism as taking place within and modelled by neoliberal economics. The approach taken here supersedes the old categorizations of 'old' and 'new' regionalism to explain new realities that are not taking place within and modelled by neoliberal economics. The chapters will contribute to the analytical field of (comparative) regionalism by addressing new questions about how transformative post-hegemonic regionalism(s) are in terms of regional space and new polities. Finally, the collection is an open invitation to engage EU and other studies on regionalism as Latin America matters for the knowledge it can provide on pressing questions such as flexibility, the use of informal politics and power, and the continuing widening-versus-deepening debate understanding regionalism and regionalization for other regions of the world."
Focusing on the flight of women and girls from Venezuela, this book examines the gendered nature of forced displacement and the ways in which the failures of protection regimes to be sensitive to displacement's gendered character affect women and girls, and their sexual and reproductive health. Highlighting how categorical legal distinctions between 'refugees' and 'migrants' fail to capture the dynamics of forced migration in Latin America, it investigates how the operation of this categorical divide generates responsibility and protection gaps in relation to female forced migrants which act as determinants of sexual and reproductive health. Drawing on the voices of displaced women, it argues that a robust political ethics of protection of the forcibly displaced must encompass all necessary fleers and be responsive to the gendered character of forced displacement and particularly to effective access to sexual and reproductive health rights.
Governance in South America is signified by strategies pursued by state and non-state actors directed to enhancing (some aspect of) their capabilities and powers of agency. It is about the spaces and the practices available, demanded or created to 'make politics happen'. This framework lends explanatory power to understand how governance has been defined and practiced in South America. Pia Riggirozzi and Christopher Wylde bring together leading experts to explore what demands and dilemmas have shaped understanding and practice of governance in South America in and across the region. The Handbook suggests that governance dilemmas of inequitable and unfulfilled political economic governance in South America have been constant historical features, yet addressed and negotiated in different ways. Building from an introduction to key issues defining governance in South America, this Handbook proceeds to examine institutions, actors and practices in governance focusing on three core processes: evolution of socio-economic and political justice claims as central to the demands of governance; governance frameworks foregrounding particular issues and often privileging particular forms of political practice; and iterative and cumulative processes leading to new demands of governance addressing recognition and identity politics. This Handbook will be a key reference for those concerned with the study of South America, South American political economy, regional governance, and the politics of development.
