GUERRA-BORGES, Alfredo. Regionalismo y multilateralismo en su laberinto. Prob. Des [online]. 2008, vol.39, n.152, pp.11-28. ISSN 0301-7036.

After a period of obscurity, especially for economic integration, regionalism has again awoken an enormous amount of interest both at an academic and international institutional level. There are several explanations for this and the present work pauses to consider them. The study stresses the profound transformationónormative and institutional, evident during the 1980s and 1990s ócaused by globalization. On this question, it proposes an original definition which, beyond its multiple expressions, above all in the economy, focuses essentially on the phenomenon as a historical process. The worldwide dissemination of regionalism has given rise to a debate on the relationship between regionalism and multilateralism, a question that has come to be complex and challenging, and which will therefore require a specific treatment later to be integrated into the sketch that has already been made.

Palabras llave : regionalism; new regionalism; open regionalism; multilateralism.
