Latin American regionalisms have gone through different phases over the last decades and they are currently again being re-configurated. Due to the recent avalanche of new events and discourses, academic work seems often to be reduced to commenting on past events and speculating about future events. In addition, inter-disciplinary research is very scarce so that regular academic output does not always address the complexity of the regional integration processes in Latin America. This project seeks to contribute to the academic research on Latin American regionalisms and interpret the developments in the different sub-regions (and in their respective extra-regional relations) in a longer term perspective and from an inter-disciplinary angle.
