This article analyzes the international context which allowed the creation of the Southern Common Market (Mercosur) and the conditions which generated the definition of its model. If, on one hand, globalization had an impact on this context, on the other, the evolution of economic regionalism will strongly influence the type of integration of Mercosur countries. The world transformations, linked to the Post War new international order and to the end of Cold War, will influence Latin America. Through an historical and analytical approach, the authors show that Mercosur adopted features of two different generations of regionalism, as a result of a specific historical experience.

Two versions of regionalism have existed side by side in the American continent since the first quarter of the nineteenth century: pan-americanism and latin-americanism. Pan-Americanism remains asymmetrical, essentially denoted by the absence of a fundamental coherence of interests and objectives between the most powerful participant–the United States–and the weakest. Latin-americanism, on the other hand, experiences the absence of a convergence of perceptions that can support unifying project. These two regionalisms coexist because of the insufficient performance of each one. The project of economic integration in the continent, characterised by the two versions of regionalism, lead to subregionalism as a form of achieving greater efficiency. The present article attempts to make a critical analysis of this phenomenon. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
