This cutting-edge volume brings together a diverse roster of scholars to shed light on the reconfiguration of twenty-first century Latin American regionalism. Reflecting on both the multiplicity of regional integration across Latin America (LA) and the theoretically pluralist turn in contemporary scholarship on LA politics and International Relations, this edited volume proposes an ‘integrative pluralist’ methodology to deciphering the complexity of regionalisation projects, from both above and below. The book charts the contemporary evolution of older regionalisation schemes, such as the Common Market of the South (MERCOSUR), as well as more recent twenty-first century regional innovati...

La pandemia de la covid-19 ha significado un momento de reflexión para los procesos de integración de América Latina, los cuales se han visto desbordados por su impacto y consecuencias ante la falta de respuestas multilaterales, colaborativas y consensuadas, al preferir actuar de manera individual con prevalencia de soberanías nacionales sobre una actuación de soberanías compartidas. Con ello se está demostrando que, en lo institucional, se encuentra una de las mayores falencias y debilidades de la integración latinoamericana, a lo que se agrega la falta de liderazgo tan necesario en circunstancias como estas. América Latina no ha actuado de manera colaborativa, a pesar de contar co...
