    Integración regional y estrategias de la reinserción internacional en América del Sur. Razones para la incertidumbre
    in Nueva Sociedad , 219 ,  2009 ,  157-172
    The complex situation of the integration process in South America cannot be understood without taking into account the profound changes in the political panorama of the region. Although the arrival of Left-wing governments raised hopes of a more robust articulation, it is already clear that integration is not furthered by mere ideological affinity. Currently the context is of fragmentation submitted to a dynamic of change. An analysis of the situation in Mercosur, where the associates are incapable of articulating common foreign policies, is a mere sample of the current situation: the temptation for the associates to recur to bilateral agreements and the difficulties in advancing in the negotiations with the European Union, simply confirm the diagnosis of uncertainty
