ORDER WORLD REPORT ON
REGIONAL INTEGRATION
A new book from UNU-CRIS – Del regionalismo latinoamericano a la integración interregional (From Latin American Regionalism to Inter-regional Integration) – investigates the main factors behind the dynamics of Latin-American regionalism.
It also examines the growing interactions of these schemes with the European Union, North-America and Asia-Pacific and contributes to the comparative analysis of Latin-American regionalism by contrasting certain aspects of it with European and South-East experiences.
The book project was co-ordinated by Shigeru Kochi (Aoyama Gakuin University, Japan), José Briceño Ruiz (Universidad de Los Andes, Venezuela), and Philippe De Lombaerde (UNU-CRIS).
The other experts who made contributions are Lincoln Bizzozero (Universidad de la República, Uruguay), Sergio Cesarín (CONITYC, Argentina), Roberto Domínguez (Sulfork University, US), Luis Jorge Garay (UNU-CRIS), Miriam Gomes Saraiva (University of the State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil), Won-Ho Kim (KIEP, South Korea), Andrés Malamud (University of Lisbon, Portugal), Carlos Quenan (Université de Paris III, France), Fernando Rueda Junquera (University of Burgos, Spain) and Neantro Saavedra-Rivano (University of Tsukuba, Japan).
