OLIVARES HOMEZ, Milena. Regionalism and South American integration: analysis of UNASUR. E&c [online]. 2017, vol.1, n.4, pp.149-166. ISSN 2477-9245.  https://doi.org/10.37228/estado_comunes.v1.n4.2017.46.

This article outlines the main aspects that characterize the theories that study the processes of regional integration and regionalism in South America. The first section addresses the issues of integration and regionalism from the main trends, and then presents an analysis about how integration is seen in South America. Subsequently, some observations are made regarding the origins of UNASUR and the theoretical trends that analyze it. Finally, it is proposed to -in the light of these main flows- analyze the advances and setbacks that UNASUR have had in the framework of a new regionalism.

Keywords : South American regionalism; regional integration; UNASUR.
