Abstract
Este artículo aborda el surgimiento y las características del "nuevo regionalismo" como estrategia de integración para promover el desarrollo y mejorar la inserción internacional de América Latina en un mundo globalizado. Desde comienzos de los noventa, la región ha adoptado el "regionalismo abierto" como una estrategia de desarrollo, con el objetivo de mejorar su competitividad internacional, y mejorar la coordinación de las políticas entre los miembros de los grupos regionales. Quince años más tarde, la integración regional ha alcanzado resultados significativos en materia de liberación comercial, y comercio intrarregional, pero aún persisten barreras significativas, que perjudican los beneficios potenciales de una integración más profunda. El articulo también discute los beneficios y los costes potenciales de la actual oleada de acuerdos "Sur-Norte" que varios países latinoamericanos están negociando con los Estados Unidos y la Unión Europea, así como las perspectivas de la Comunidad Sudamericana de Naciones.
