description A decade after the rise of post-liberal regionalism, strong movements are emerging to the detriment of their survival, both in the case of UNASUR and ALBA. What factors explained the emergence of these post-liberal regionalism schemes? Can the weakening of these factors explain the current exhaustion of this wave of regionalism? We assume that ideological convergence and regional leadership are facilitators of regionalism. However, we conjecture that ideological affinity by itself cannot account for variable patterns in regional cooperation. Especially in the period of post-liberal regionalism, Brazil’s and Venezuela’s will (with Presidents Lula da Silva and Hugo Chávez) to lead was central, and therefore, both the emergence and the decline of ALBA and UNASUR can be explained predominantly by the swings of regional leadership.

Una década después del surgimiento del regionalismo post-liberal, asistimos a fuertes movimientos en detrimento de su supervivencia, tanto en el caso de la UNASUR como de ALBA. ¿Qué factores explicaron la aparición de estos esquemas característicos del regionalismo post-liberal? ¿El debilitamiento de esos factores puede explicar el actual agotamiento de esta ola de regionalismo? Partimos del supuesto de que la convergencia ideológica y el liderazgo regional son facilitadores del regionalismo. Sin embargo, conjeturamos que la afinidad ideológica no puede por sí misma dar cuenta de los patrones variables en la cooperación regional. Especialmente en el periodo del regionalismo post-liberal, fue fundamental la voluntad de liderazgo de Brasil y Venezuela, de la mano de Lula da Silva y Hugo Chávez, y por consiguiente, tanto el surgimiento como el ocaso de ALBA y UNASUR pueden ser explicados predominantemente por los vaivenes del liderazgo regional. 2021-03-12 2022-03-18T19:28:05Z 2022-03-18T19:28:05Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/cadernos/article/view/13877 10.47284/2359-2419.2020.29.4369 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/65500 spa https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/cadernos/article/view/13877/10443 Copyright (c) 2021 CC-BY https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 application/pdf Faculdade de Ciências e Letras - Unesp - Araraquara.
