Disputa y crisis política e histórica en los procesos de integración en América Latina
Abstract
Los procesos de integración regional en América Latina y el Caribe sin la participación de Estados Unidos, que tuvieron un éxito indudable en los pasados doce años, han comenzado de declinar y enfrentar crisis y tensiones muy fuertes, tanto por el reacomodo geopolítico y geoeconómico mundial, como por los cambios políticos en países importantes como Argentina y Brasil, así como por la crisis que enfrenta Venezuela. En ese sentido, el estudio, investigación y análisis de las experiencias, trayectorias y perspectivas de CELAC, UNASUR y ALBA, principalmente, resultan importantes, recogiendo para ello distintos puntos de vista teóricos, políticos y de relaciones internacionales para así tener un panorama actual y, al mismo tiempo, considerar sus tendencias en los próximos años.
The regional integration processes that took place in Latin America and the Caribbean, those that excluded the USA, achieved remarkable success the last twelve years. Nevertheless, in the present day, this processes weakened and now they are struggling with a local tensions and crisis as well with a new geopolitical scenario. The political swing in countries such as Brazil and Argentina and the upheaval in Venezuela are important issues that affect the integration policy for the whole continent. In order to understand this situation, this paper addresses the experiences, development and perspectives of CELAC, UNASUR and ALBA by contrasting a diversity of theoretical and political standpoints that allow us to figure the actual landscape and the streams that would be possible to follow.
