Salas, Christina Andrea. "Oil, Regionalism and the Changing Geopolitical Imaginations of Venezuela." Scholarly Repository, 2008. http://scholarlyrepository.miami.edu/oa_theses/127.
Full textAbstract:
Through Venezuela?s past experiences with foreign influences including its relationship with foreign oil companies and international organizations like the IMF, the current Venezuelan government has retaken control of national petroleum reserves. With the power acquired through the process of retaking control, the government has attempted to increase the incidence of regionalism and decrease the influence of the U.S. in three main ways: altering relationships with large South American powers, supporting leftwing governments in the region and establishing regional organizations and increased integration. However, the power acquired by the Venezuelan government and used to supplant its own influences for that of the U.S. comes from a contradictory relationship with the U.S. The contradictory nature of this relationship stems from the fact that while Venezuela supports the decline of U.S. influence and power in the region, Venezuelan power relies on access to U.S. markets to sell Venezuelan. Only through the stable sale of this petroleum does the Venezuelan government possess the capability of spreading its own influence through increasing regionalism and diminishing U.S. power.

El presente artículo analiza el proceso de integración regional sudamericana a partir de su origen en la Cumbre de Brasilia del año 2000 hasta la actualidad. Luego de describir los cuatro ámbitos más importantes de integración, determina los principales factores que explican su estancamiento actual: 1) la politización del contenido y el proceso de integración; 2) el cre- ciente desinterés de Brasil frente al proyecto integrador; y 3) el cuestionamiento del carácter sudamericano de la integración regional por nuevos esquemas, como la Alianza del Pacífico y la CELAC. Asimismo, hace uso de los enfoques de integración de Joseph Nye y Walter Mattli para analizar qué perspectivas tiene el regionalismo sudamericano a corto y mediano plazo.

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo analisar a evolução do regionalismo latinoamericano, sobretudo confrontando-se as principais características dos modelos de regionalismos no continente, caracterizados como aberto e pós-hegemônico. Ambos os regionalismos demarcam os períodos de criação e desenvolvimento do principal bloco econômico da América do Sul, o Mercosul, e determinaram suas transformações e seu desempenho. Tendo-se em vista sua relevância na história e nas mudanças do modelo da integração na região, por meio da análise histórica, o presente trabalho estuda os motivadores quando de sua criação, estrutura, relevância regional e como, ao longo dos anos, sofreu alterações devido às influências externas e domésticas de seus países membros, fatores estes fortemente influenciadores dos modelos de integração específicos que conformaram o bloco, denominados como regionalismos estratégico, social e produtivo. Com isso, busca-se demonstrar que o Mercosul reflete as transformações econômicas, políticas e sociais ocorridas ao final do século XX, culminando em sua criação, e transformando-o substancialmente na primeira década do século XXI.This paper focuses on the analysis of the Latin Americas regionalism evolution, especially confronting the main features of regionalism models in the continent characterized as \"open\" and \"post-hegemonic. Both regionalisms characterize the periods of creation and development of the main economic bloc in South America, Mercosur, and determine its transformations and performance. Due to its relevance in history as well as in the transformation of the regional integration pattern, through a historical analysis, this paper studies the issues that motivated its creation, structure, importance in the region and how, over the years, has changed due to external and domestic influences of its members, which strongly influenced in specific models of integration that composed the Mercosur, called strategic, social and productive regionalisms. Thus, it aims to demonstrate that Mercosur reflects the economic, political and social changes that occurred at the end of the twentieth century, culminating in its creation and development, modifying it substantially in the first decade of the current century.

Full textAbstract:
Orientador: Shiguenoli MiyamotoAbstract: The present research has the occurrence of overlapping regionalisms as its object, with a comparative cut for South America and Africa. The purpose of this thesis is to study types of institutional interaction and to analyze the effects of overlapping in the coexistence between regional processes in order to understand their dynamics in the above-mentioned regions. The observation of organizational behaviors and interaction is made through cases of political crises on the selected regions, as we assume that the interactions between overlapping regional organizations in those situations would tend to be more fragmenting than complementary as they go beyond the traditional membership-mandate relationship. Therefore, we also analyze overlapping performances and seek to understand how regional organizations will behave and interact while dealing with political crises, which constitute critical junctures, in accordance with the theoretical and methodological framework of the thesis. This work aims to produce a broad qualitative analysis of the given regions by considering applicable cases that cover all of the sub-regions and hence to contribute to the field of comparative regionalism by providing generalization and institutional learnings which are not derived by a given model of regionalism, but nonetheless based on a cross regional approach. The data is processed through document analysis and further systemized via the construction of presence and absence exercises, consisting ... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)
Resumo: A presente pesquisa tem por objeto a ocorrência de regionalismos sobrepostos, com recorte comparativo para a América do Sul e a África. O propósito desta tese é estudar tipos de interação institucional e analisar os efeitos da sobreposição na coexistência entre processos regionais, de modo a entender sua dinâmica nas regiões supramencionadas. A observação de comportamentos organizacionais e interações é feita através de casos de crises políticas nas regiões selecionadas, uma vez que se assume que ditas interações entre organizações regionais sobrepostas tenderiam a produzir efeitos mais fragmentantes do que complementares para o espaço, uma vez que as mesmas ultrapassam a tradicional relação entre filiação e mandato. Portanto, se analisa também a sobreposição de performances enquanto se procura compreender como as organizações regionais irão se comportar e interagir ao lidar com crises políticas, que constituem conjunturas críticas, de acordo com o referencial teóricometodológico da pesquisa. A tese pretende produzir uma análise qualitativa de grande dimensão das regiões dadas, considerando casos aplicáveis que abarquem todas as sub-regiões e, assim, contribuir para o campo do regionalismo comparado, fornecendo generalizações e aprendizagens institucionais que não são derivadas de um dado modelo de regionalismo, mas, baseadas em uma abordagem regional cruzada.

Full textAbstract:
A presente tese se propõe a responder a seguinte questão: É correto afirmar que o regionalismo desenvolvimentista sul-americano, implantado ao longo do século XX, e o novo regionalismo desenvolvimentista, implantado ao longo da primeira década do século XXI, são compatíveis com as regras do sistema multilateral de comércio? Em outras palavras, as organizações de integração regional da América do Sul têm balizado as suas políticas desenvolvimentistas no policy space decorrente das prerrogativas jurídicas para o desenvolvimento do sistema multilateral de comércio? Para tratar o refrido tema, parte-se da premissa que os países da América do Sul historicamente sempre fizeram uso das prerrogativas jurídicas para o desenvolvimento, desde que tais surgiram no sistema multilateral de comércio, e possibilitaram a implantação de políticas no plano nacional e regional. Ao longo da tese, é analisada, desde uma perspectiva jurídica, a compatibilidade com as regras do sistema multilateral de comércio dos principais aspectos desenvolvimentistas das organizações de integração regional criadas na América do Sul, desde a ALALC, em 1960, até a UNASUL, em 2008. Concluiu-se que tanto o velho quanto o novo regionalismo desenvolvimentista da América do Sul foram levados adiante em concordância com o direito internacional do comércio, seja ao longo do período GATT, seja ao longo do período OMC. Mesmo com a redução de policy space decorrente da entrada em vigor dos acordos da OMC, a América do Sul vislumbrou manter um relativamente alto nível de espaço político (policy space) para a criação de políticas públicas de desenvolvimento. Atualmente, percebe-se uma tendência das organizações de integração regional da América do Sul, especialmente da UNASUL e do MERCOSUL, de levar adiante políticas públicas em torno de temas não-regulados pela OMC, o que caracterizaria uma estratégia OMC-extra. O novo regionalismo desenvolvimentista sul-americano está finalmente se constituindo para além do policy space do sistema multilateral de comércio, o que, por não configurar, a priori, uma incompatibilidade dos processos de integração com as regras da OMC, contribui para fortalecer o primado do direito internacional na América do Sul.This thesis aims to answer the following question: Can it be said that the South American developmental regionalism, carried out throughout the twentieth century, and the new developmental regionalism, implemented during the first decade of this century, are compatible with the rules of multilateral trading system? In other words, have the regional integration organizations in South America based their developmental policies in the policy space resulting from the developmental legal prerogatives of the multilateral trading system? To treat such theme, we start from the premise that the countries of South America have historically made use of legal rights for development, since these arose in the multilateral trading system, and enabled the implementation of policies at the national and regional levels. From a legal perspective, the thesis analyses the compatibility of the main developmental aspects of regional integration organizations created in South America since the LAFTA in 1960 to UNASUR, in 2008 with the rules of the multilateral trading system. It was concluded that both the old and the new developmental regionalism in South America were brought forward in accordance with international trade law, either through the GATT period, either during the WTO period. Even with the reduction of policy space resulting from the entry into force of the WTO agreements, South America managed to maintain a relatively high level of policy space for the creation of developmental public policies. Currently, there is a perceived trend of regional integration organizations in South America, especially the MERCOSUR and UNASUR, to carry out public policies on topics unregulated by the WTO, which would characterize a strategy WTO-extra. The new South American developmental regionalism is finally going beyond the policy space of the multilateral trading system, which, by not setting a priori incompatibility of the integration processes with WTO rules, contributes to strengthen the rule of international law in South America.

Ce travail traite de l’émergence, des conséquences et des résultats de la coopération régionale dans les domaines de la santé publique et de la défense au sein du cadre institutionnel de l’UNASUR. En nous concentrant sur la coopération sectorielle dans deux domaines aussi différents et importants que la santé et la défense, nous avons essayé d’éclairer les mécanismes, les moteurs, les schémas institutionnels ainsi que les résultats du régionalisme sectoriel en Amérique du Sud. En procédant ainsi, ce travail prétend contribuer à l’étude de l’UNASUR et du régionalisme sud-américain, en explorant les logiques endogènes et les dynamiques d’une coopération sectorielle entre les états sud-américains qui ont été considérablement négligées par la littérature sur les particularités régionales. Les chercheurs se sont particulièrement penchés sur l’UNASUR en le considérant soit comme le produit d’une mutation structurelle post-hégémonique et post-libérale mise en place par la zone sud-américaine en réponse à la reconfiguration multipolaire du système international et de l’économie mondiale ou comme une organisation régionale souffrant des limitations institutionnelles caractéristiques de l’intergouvernementalité et s’imbriquant inefficacement avec les autres organisations régionales. Une attention moindre s’est portée sur ce qui se joue réellement au sein des Conseils Sectoriels de l’UNASUR. Nous considérons que pour pouvoir comprendre l’importance de l’UNASUR ainsi que les logiques qui sous-tendent l’évolution du régionalisme sud-américain, il est nécessaire d’en savoir plus sur les raisons pour lesquelles les gouvernements ont mis en place une institution régionale pour poursuivre une coopération dans un espace politique donné, sur les caractéristiques et l’impact d’institutions sectorielles régionales ainsi que sur les conséquences et les effets d’une coopération sectorielle. Ce travail tente de combler un vide dans la littérature sur le régionalisme sud-américain en offrant une analyse - fondée sur de nombreux éléments à la fois empiriques et théoriques – de la manière dont les états sud-américains construisent le régionalisme à l’aide d’une coopération sectorielle intergouvernementaleThis research deals with the emergence, outcomes, and effects of regional cooperation in the fields of public health and defence within the UNASUR institutional framework. By zooming into sector-based cooperation in two diverse, yet equally important policy areas such as health and defence, I try to shed light on the triggers, drivers, institutionalisation patterns, and results of sectoral regionalism in South America. In doing so, the research intends to contribute to the study of UNASUR and South American regionalism, exploring the endogenous logics and dynamics of sector-based cooperation among South American states that have been largely neglected by the area-specific literature. Scholars have predominantly analysed UNASUR either as the result of a structural post-hegemonic and post-liberal shift experienced by the South American region in response to the multipolar reconfiguration of the international system and the world economy or as a regional organisation that suffers from the institutional limitations typical of intergovernmentalism and overlaps ineffectively with other regional organisations. Less attention has been paid to what does actually happen within the UNASUR Sectoral Councils. I posit that in order to grasp the significance of UNASUR and the logics underlying the evolution of South American regionalism, we need to know more about why governments set up a regional institution for pursuing cooperation in a given policy area, what are the characteristics and impact of regional sector-based institutions, and what are the outcomes and effects of sectoral cooperation. This research attempts to fill this gap in the literature on South American regionalism by providing an empirically rich and theoretically grounded analysis of how South American states are constructing regionalism through intergovernmental sectoral cooperation

A América do Sul, na história recente, foi palco de diversas ações de integração regional relacionadas ao comércio, influenciando os posicionamentos dos países em matéria de políticas de comércio interncional bem como formando um emaranhado de relações que se sobrepõe muitas vezes de formas antagônicas. Neste contexto, a presente dissertação aborda o histórico das principais blocos regionais que envolvem a América do Sul como base para mostrar a atual fragmentação deste subcontinente em três visões principais de política de comércio internacional, sendo uma visão intermediária caracterizada pelo Brasil e acompanhada pelos membros do MERCOSUL em uma vertente regional-multilateralista. Em um extremo estão Venezuela, Equador e Bolívia, representantes da ALBA, com seus governos de posicionamento extremo-nacionalista. E em posição antagônica a estes estão Chile, Peru e Colômbia, que conformam o eixo liberal-bilateralista. Objetivando comprovar que há uma tendência de fortalecimento da visão liberal-bilateralista na região será feito um estudo com base nas suas principais formas de atuação, ou seja, por meio da análise de Acordos Preferenciais de Comércio, mais especificamente FTAs bilaterais celebrados com países de distintas regiões com foco especial ao período imediatamente após a eclosão da crise de 2008, de 2009-2014. Finalmente, se a hipótese se confirmar, restando evidenciada a retomada do posicionamento bilateralista, após período de predominância da visão multilateralista na América do Sul, é importante apontar os desafios para o Brasil neste cenário.South America, in recent history, has had several regional integration actions related to trade, influencing the countries positions in terms of international trade policies as well as forming a tangle of relationships that often overlaps with contrary views. In this context, this thesis addresses the history of the main regional blocs involving South America as a basis to show the current fragmentation of this subcontinent in three main views of international trade policy, with an intermediate vision characterized by Brazil and followed also by members of the MERCOSUR in a regional-multilateralist position. At one extreme, the countries Venezuela, Ecuador and Bolivia, ALBA representatives, present their extreme-nationalist position. And in an antagonistic position, Chile, Peru and Colombia constitute the liberal-bilateralist axis. In order to prove that there is a trend towards the strengthening of the liberal-bilateralist vision in the region, a research based on analysis of Preferential Trade Agreements will be held, focusing bilateral FTAs concluded with different countries regions with special attention to the period immediately after the outbreak of the 2008 crisis, from 2009 to 2014. Finally, if the hypothesis is confirmed, demonstrating the resumption of the bilateralist position after a period in which the multilateralist vision was predominant in South America, it is important to point the challenges of this scenario for Brazil.

No presente trabalho busca-se explicar as transformações ocorridas nas relações entre Brasil e Venezuela ao longo de um período que se inicia em 1990 e se estende até 1998. Temse como objetivo identificar os condicionantes políticos e econômicos e os agentes principais desse processo que se caracterizou pela aceleração e densificação das relações bilaterais, principalmente após o encontro presidencial de La Guzmania, no dia 4 de março de 1994. Para melhor compreender esse processo, são estudados, num primeiro capítulo, os antecedentes das relações entre Brasil e Venezuela; em seguida, no segundo capítulo, são analisadas as transformações ocorridas no sistema internacional entre as décadas de 1980 e 1990, depois são analisados os processos de formação de blocos e de cooperação na América Latina nesse novo contexto internacional e o impacto das transformações do cenário internacional nas políticas externas do Brasil e da Venezuela. Finalmente, no último capítulo, através da análise dos dados empíricos coletados durante a pesquisa de campo e do estudo da bibliografia disponível, busca-se verificar os fatos políticos e econômicos, ocorridos entre 1990 a 1998, que marcaram as relações entre os dois países e explicar a intensificação do processo de aproximação entre Brasil e Venezuela nesse período.This paper aims to analyze the relationship between Brazil and Venezuela, from 1990 to 1998. The intention is to confirm, and then explain, the process, during those nine years, that brought the two countries into a deeper cooperation. For a better understanding, the past history of the relationship between Brazil and Venezuela is studied in the first chapter; in the next chapter, the transformations of the international system within 1980 and 1990, the Free Trade Areas trend in Latin America, and the impact of those changes in the international system over the Brazilian and Venezuelan foreign policies is analyzed. Finally, in the last chapter, relationship between Brazil and Venezuela is studied in details through the analysis of the researched data. It intends to identify the political and economical motivations behind the pattern’s change in the relationship between the two countries.

Full textAbstract:
Lewis Simpson first used the term ‘postsouthern’ to define the state of the American South in an era of postmodern capitalism. The recent swathe of transnational and transcultural theory has much bearing on this notion, as any questioning of the nation and its borders must have concomitant effects on those regions within it. The U.S. South is one such region that has long endured questioning of its contours, whether geographical, cultural, or ideological. Simpson’s ‘postsouth’ has gained much traction, influencing much critical writing that requires us to look to a deterritorialized global South. My thesis interrupts this axiomatic view offering readings of various twenty-first-century cultural texts from the region as evidence of a more complex, and lingering regionalism that is surely not postsouthern. In the course of my readings, I utilize strands of cultural memory studies to anchor the varied texts to a particular place. I argue specifically for a ‘rooted’ and ‘placed’ dynamics of cultural memory (as working through texts), thus re-rooting and locating the South and its memory-work. The regional remembrance found across different media ballast my claims of a South far from disappearing. In the first chapter I reveal how in two contemporary novels about slavery the institution’s potency in cultural memory continues to be worked through literary texts. In the second, the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina is shown to reveal a very complex, yet nonetheless, regional biopolitical sphere of African-American life. Thirdly, I look to the Southern gothic and read Sally Mann’s photography through this genre lens to show the machinations of the Southern past working in the present. In the fourth chapter, I look to two novels that trace the very ubiquitous narrative of return to the South. My conclusion ties together the strands of thought that foreground bodies, memory, landscape and the very present past.

La présente thèse a pour objet l’étude du régionalisme. Ce dernier se réfère ici à des régions mondiales constituant une dimension médiane entre le niveau étatique et le système mondial. Notre analyse porte donc sur les nouvelles expériences régionales qui ont émergé dans le contexte de la globalisation néolibérale et de la post-guerre froide. Le régionalisme est analysé en tant qu’objet des relations internationales et l’étude de cas choisi est celui du régionalisme latino-américain, et plus précisément le Marché commun du Sud (MERCOSUR). Une importante partie des travaux consacrés à l'explication du régionalisme partent d'une approche essentiellement endogène accordant une attention distraite aux déterminants exogènes. Pour comprendre la nature du nouveau régionalisme, il faut le situer dans une perspective globale qui tient compte de l’interrelation entre les niveaux national, régional et global. Bien que le régionalisme renvoie à des logiques internes propres, le phénomène est fortement conditionné et façonné par l’extérieur du fait qu’il évolue en interaction directe et constante avec le monde économique et politique international, et qu’il fait l’objet de politiques menées par des acteurs dominants de l’arène mondiale. Les déterminants extérieurs sont donc essentiels pour comprendre l’évolution du régionalisme. Dès lors, la thèse se propose de répondre à la question suivante :comment et en quoi la nature et l’évolution du régionalisme se trouve façonnée par le cadre exogène et comment ce dernier interagit avec les facteurs d’ordre interne ?Pour répondre à cette question il convient de resituer le MERCOSUR dans le cadre du triangle atlantique (Amérique du Sud/Union européenne/Etats-Unis) qui lui-même doit être placé dans le contexte plus large de la globalisation néolibérale.Doctorat en sciences politiques

Full textAbstract:
In the last decade South American has been the scenario of different political crises with considerable repercussions on regional stability. In that sense, the participation of regional institutions for the solution of political crises has become increasingly important. This article seeks to understand the scope and limitations of the Union of South American Nations (Unasur) for the solution of political crises in the region. Since its origins, Unasur has sought to play an important role in efforts to maintain political stability in South America. However, while in some cases its participation has been effective; in others it has been limited or insufficient. One question remains: What determines Unasur's effectiveness in resolving political crises? This article argues that it is important to observe the interests and actions of the South American States in the face of each crisis to understand the scope of Unasur as an institution that guarantees regional stability. Adopting tools derived from structural realism, it can be observed that Unasur can be effective as long as there is agreement between the regional powers. However, if it does not exist, the action of Unasur is limited and insufficient.This article will analyze the crises of Bolivia in 2008; Ecuador in 2010; the diplomatic conflict between Colombia and Venezuela in 2009-2010; Paraguay in 2012; and Venezuela in 2013. Thus, the article not only studies the effectiveness of Unasur as a regional body, but also discusses the possibilities and limitations of political integration in South America in view of the distribution of power and competition among regional powers.En la última década, la región sudamericana ha sido escenario de numerosas crisis políticas con considerables repercusiones en la estabilidad regional. Frente a este escenario, la participación de instituciones regionales para la solución de crisis políticas ha ido cobrando cada vez mayor relevancia. Este artículo busca comprender los alcances y limitaciones de la Unión de Naciones Sudamericanas (Unasur) para la solución de crisis políticas en la región.Unasur ha buscado jugar un papel importante en los esfuerzos por mantener la estabilidad política en Sudamérica. Sin embargo, mientras en algunos casos su participación ha sido eficaz, en otros ha sido limitada. ¿Qué determina la eficacia de Unasur para la solución de crisis políticas? El artículo postula que es importante observar los intereses y acciones de los Estados sudamericanos frente a cada crisis para entender los alcances de Unasur como institución garante de la estabilidad regional. Adoptando herramientas provenientes delrealismo estructural, se observa que Unasur puede ser eficaz en tanto existe concordancia entre las potencias regionales; sin embargo, si esta no existe, la actuación de Unasur es limitada e insuficiente. Para ello, se analizarán las crisis de Bolivia en 2008 y Ecuador en 2010, el conflicto entre Colombia y Venezuela en 2009-2010, la crisis de Paraguay en 2012 y de Venezuela en 2013. Así, el artículo no solo estudia la eficacia de Unasur como organismo de integración, sino también discute sobre las posibilidades y limitaciones de la integración política en Sudamérica, en vista de la distribución de poder y la competenciaentre las potencias regionales.

A pesquisa desenvolveu uma periodização histórica de construção do espaço geográfico na América do Sul por meio do estudo histórico da formação territorial desde o período colonial até o período de conformação dos processos regionais de integração transnacional. Foi empreendido um estudo sistemático sobre a política espacial conhecida como regionalismo transnacional a partir de marcos teóricos e históricos na escala internacional até a conformação de estratégias oficiais de desenvolvimento de redes infra-estruturais na América do Sul. O trabalho analisou a visão de planejamento territorial incorporada na IIRSA a fim de caracterizar a sua centralidade geoestratégica no fortalecimento da América do Sul e o papel de influência brasileira na sua construção. Com essa discussão subsídios foram fornecidos por meio deste estudo para demonstrar que o processo de regionalização transnacional se fortalece na América do Sul devido a uma linguagem material reticular presente na IIRSA, ao introduzir um campo operatório de poder no sistema territorial que não é estruturalmente horizontal
Abstract: This dissertation studied the international macroestrutures of the transnational regionalism in South America taking into perspective the analysis of the Initiative for the Integration of the Regional Infrastructure of South America (IIRSA), a planned network focused on the sectors of transport, energy and telecommunications. This research has developed a historical periodization about the construction of the geographical space in South America taking as granted the study of the territorial formation since the colonial period up to the urging period of the transnational regional integration processes. From theoretical and historical landmarks in the international scale to the conformation of strategical developments of infrastructure networks in South America this dissertation presents a systematic study about the spatial policy called transnational regionalism The study of the transnational regionalism has examined the vision of IIRSA¿s territorial planning in order to characterize its geostrategic centrality in the strengthening of South America and the role of Brazilian influence in its construction. Troughout this discussion subsidies were supplied to demonstrate that the process of transnational regionalization has been strengthened in South America due to a material network language at the IIRSA projects by the introduction of an operative field of power in the territorial system that is not structurally horizontal

Com isso, os processos de integração regional na América do Sul e Latina se intensificaram com a criação de novas institucionalidades e com a expansão da agenda para novos temas, além da tradicional agenda comercial. A Central Única dos Trabalhadores foi fundamental para contraposição aos blocos comerciais que se conformavam nos anos 1990 e, posteriormente, para eleição e construção dos governos de Lula da Silva e Dilma Rousseff (2003-2014). Nesse sentido, esta pesquisa tem como objetivo avaliar a importância da participação social desse ator para as mudanças institucionais que ocorreram no Mercosul durante os governos progressistas no Brasil. Para tanto, este trabalho discute a importância de ampliarmos as reflexões teóricas sobre a relevância da sociedade civil nos estudos de integração regional e de relações internacionais, pois a ação dos atores sociais impacta diretamente o processo de formulação política, visto que o Estado é uma relação social e não um ator central e racional. O estudo analisa as transformações institucionais do Mercosul que não propiciaram alterações no seu processo decisório, nem possibilitaram a superação histórica do déficit democrático da estrutura institucional do bloco. Com base em entrevistas e na análise de documentos oficiais da Central Única dos Trabalhadores, a dissertação... (Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo)
Abstract: In the 2000s, driven by economic crises in the region and the resistance of social movements, several progressive governments were elected in Latin America. As a result, regional integration processes in South and Latin America have intensified with the creation of new institutions and the expansion of the agenda for new themes, in addition to the traditional trade agenda. The Central Única dos Trabalhadores was fundamental for opposing the commercial blocs that were formed in the 1990s and, later, for the election and construction of the governments of Lula da Silva and Dilma Rousseff (2003-2014). In this sense, this research aims to evaluate the importance of social participation of this actor for the institutional changes that occurred in Mercosur during the progressive governments in Brazil. To this end, this paper discusses the importance of broadening the theoretical reflections on the relevance of civil society in studies of regional integration and international relations, as the action of social actors directly impacts the process of political formulation, since the state is a not a central and rational actor. The study analyzes the institutional transformations of Mercosur that did not allow changes in its decision-making process, nor made possible the historical overcoming of the democratic deficit of the bloc's institutional structure. Based on interviews and analysis of official documents of the Central Única dos Trabalhadores, the dissertation evaluates the synd... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

Resumo: Este trabalho busca entender o significado da Iniciativa para a Integração da Infraestrutura Regional Sul-Americana ( IIRSA) no cenário do regionalismo sul-americano do século 21, bem como avaliar a participação brasileira nessa iniciativa. Nosso objetivo é o entendimento desse objeto por meio de uma descrição analítica desde seu surgimento até sua incorporação ao Conselho Sul-Americano de Infraestrutura e Planejamento (Cosiplan) em 2009, procurando entender como a IIRSA funcionou e como os países e órgãos financiadores participaram, focando nosso trabalho no Brasil. Nossa intenção é ir além da análise do "projeto" proposto no começo do ano 2000 (período em que reside grande parte das análises) e avaliar em perspectiva, qual o presente estágio desse processo, ao longo dos dez anos, e o que ele nos indica sobre o atual momento da integração regional na América do Sul. Apontamos que a IIRSA não forjou nenhum arranjo inovador de integração na região e que a iniciativa reforça a tendência de um regionalismo pautado em relações bilaterais sem carga de institucionalidade supranacional, no qual o protagonismo das decisões fica por conta de cada país através de seu corpo técnico participante das reuniões. Dentro dessa lógica cada país agiu conforme seus interesses/capacidades políticas e econômicas, sem coordenação conjunta que efetivasse avanços em termos de implementação do que foi proposto.
Abstract: This work aims to understand the meaning of the South America Iniciative for Integration of Regional Infrastructure (IIRSA), in the 21st regionalism in South America and also evaluate Brazil‟s participation on it. Our goal is the compreension of this object through a analytical description since its origins until the incorporation at the Conselho Sul-Americano de Infraestrutura e Planejamento (COSIPLAN) in 2009, seeking to understand how IIRSA worked and how countries and banks participated, focusing our analysis in Brazil. It was also our intention to go beyond the analysis of the IIRSA‟s project in 2000 and evaluate what this proccess can tell us about the regional integration in South America. We point that IIRSA did not forge any new arrangement regarding to the regional integration and instead, re-forced the tendency of a bilateral regionalism without supra-national charge. Each country participated and acted according to their own capacity, without a concerted action that could achieve, in terms of implementation, what were proposed.

No final da década de 1990, em um contexto de fim da Guerra Fria e redução de engajamento estadunidense na América do Sul, o Brasil encontra espaço para exercer um papel cada vez mais importante na região, condizente com o seu crescente peso econômico no subcontinente e no mundo. Nesse contexto, o objetivo do artigo é analisar a percepção dos países sulamericanos sobre o comportamento brasileiro na América do Sul. O processo discursivo de co-constituição entre líder e seguidores é observado por meio dos veículos de comunicação, dada sua relação simbiótica com a opinião pública. A pesquisa empírica utilizou artigos jornalísticos relevantes de oito jornais sul-americanos, de quatro países diferentes, que se referiram a atributos da potencial hegemonia e liderança brasileira.In the late 1990s, in the context of Cold War and reduced US engagement in South America, Brazil has started to exercise an increasingly important role in the region, consistent with its also increasingly economic weight in the subcontinent and in the world. This article aims at assessing the perception of other South American countries regarding Brazilian behavior in South America. The discursive process of co- creation between leader and followers is observed through an analysis of media outlets, given their symbiotic relationship with public opinion. Empirical research was conducted using selected news articles from eight South American newspapers from four different countries, which referred to attributes of potential Brazilian hegemony and leadership.

What makes governments decide to engage in cooperation with their neighbours to deliver regional public goods? Under which conditions do they decide to keep this cooperation informal, and when do they instead prefer to formalise it through an international treaty? Why do government seem to be more capable to produce regional public goods in some policy-areas than in others? The present research addresses these questions by analysing the contemporary South American-wide regionalism from 2000 to 2014, the period in which the Initiative for the Integration of Regional Infrastructure in South America (IIRSA) was created and later formalised into the Union of South American Nations (UNASUR). First, the analysis of the intergovernmental negotiations shows that an informal institution such as IIRSA better accommodated the preferences of governments that were searching for and experimenting with a collective response to an external challenge, whereas a formal institution such as UNASUR better accommodated the preferences of governments that wanted to avoid the emergence of competitive regional projects and the defection of some states. Second, the thesis examines the interactions between governments and transnational actors and shows that regional public goods are more likely to be produced in policy-areas in which governments were able to broker non-state transnational actors to implement basic intergovernmental consensus. In answering these questions, the thesis offers an empirically informed assessment of contemporary South American regionalism without following either the over-optimistic or over-pessimistic viewpoints that dominate the current academic debate.

Full textAbstract:
Over the past decade, South America has been undergoing many transformations, through which it has been experiencing rapid economic growth, has heightened its ability to act more autonomously from international influence on matters of decision-making, and in general is perceived to have become a more stable region in several aspects. In this outlook, South America is increasingly distinguishing itself from the rest of Latin America. South America has been seeking integration for more than two centuries, when independence from the colonizing powers marked the introduction of the notion of integration in the region. However, most observers would argue that until now, South America has not succeeded in achieving its integration aims. Today, however, a new form of regional integration is being introduced in South America, which is said to differ significantly from previous integration schemes. This time, integration is based on left governments, and thereby South America is thought to have entered a Post Neoliberal stage. Historical factors explain the need for a Post Neoliberal approach to government nowadays, as it may be the only sustainable way forward for the region's development. Post Neoliberalism is therefore at the core of new integration efforts. Particularly the recently established Unasur...

Full textAbstract:
Since the fall of the Berlin Wall, regionalism as an approach for studying International Relations has been gaining a momentum and popularity, yet, it has been mostly dominated by Eurocentric and deductive postulations, unable to successfully answer many regional issues. The focus of this thesis is to examine the validity of the major regionalist theories in the context of South America, a region that offers an ideal environment for a study of post-liberal regionalism. The thesis attempts to answer what are the main shortcomings of the contemporary regionalist debate. The main hypothesis is that while the contemporary debate of regionalism is dominated by the deductive approach, this can only direct us to some general variables and factors, but it is the inductive approach that leads us to correct assumption by expulsing extra-regional influences while building the hypothesis up. The hypothesis is tested on the South American regional dynamics through four thematic clusters based on the major assumptions of the regional theories that test their validity. The analyzed trajectories of the South American regional dynamic prove that the deductive approach is valuable in directing the research the right way in some general patterns, but it fails to make correct postulations about the type of the regional...

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation is a study of organized, professional history in the American South centered on two formal associations: the Southern History Association (1896--1907) and the Southern Historical Association (1934--present), which sponsors the Journal of Southern History. The professional historians who led these associations emerged from the memorialization culture of the Lost Cause at the turn of the twentieth-century and formed the historical wing of the resurgent intellectual commitment to regional identity that fostered the so-called Southern Renaissance. As participant intellectuals in sectional reconciliation, constitutional disfranchisement, the Great Depression, World War II, and the incipient civil rights movement, these historians often found themselves at the center of important debates about regional identity and social change in the South. This dissertation follows the protracted intellectual and political battle first to segregate and then to integrate the southern historical profession and indeed the idea of "southern history" itself.
Though largely white, these historians intended to be neither pro-Confederate, sectionally chauvinistic, nor nostalgic in motivation. Instead, they constantly negotiated between their regional devotion and their national ambition, and also between their sense of their own racial integrity and the counter-claims southern African Americans and reform-minded whites made over "the South" and the meaning of its past. These historical associations were not wholly reactionary but instead fostered both a real dedication to and substantive critiques of the South and its historical practice. This dissertation keeps in focus the subtleties of change in emphasis and in interpretation that enabled more radically activist historians to lay claim to the fractures in the South's "past" and put it to use to justify change in the present. Few historians abandoned the discourse of "southern history" when its definitions became too restrictive or untrue. Instead, white and black American historians transformed the field.
