Regionalism in the Americas: Segmented, Overlapping, and Sovereignty-boosting
| Resumo: | The Americas have historically been divided into three groupings: twenty Latin American countries, thirteen smaller Caribbean states, and the United States and Canada. Regionalist projects have proliferated in the first grouping and, less prominently, in the second, whereas the two northernmost states have adhered to regional cooperation organizations but remained aloof from regional integration. Apart from the self-exclusion of the largest powers, functional regionalism in the Americas differs from European regionalism in four main respects: first, it is segmented rather than convergent; second, it is overlapping rather than exclusive; third, it is flexibly implemented rather than rule-enforced; and fourth and crucially, it is sovereignty-boosting rather than sovereignty-sharing. |
