Buenos Aires, July 28- 30, 2010 Abstract This paper proposes to look back at the evolution of the so called Inter-American System since its first manifestations in the first half of the 19th century in order to shed some light on current developments. Some explanations that may have led to the current atmosphere of deterioration of this system are proposed. Additionally, it intends to assess what this deterioration means and what practical consequences it may bring. The conclusion is that the recent events are in fact symptom of a broader historical phenomenon of increasingly decline of the Inter-American System and if the present posture is maintained this decline tends to get steeper overtime.

De los impulsos a la convergencia político-comercial (1989-2007) Mgter. Juan José Vagni DIRECTORA: Dra. Gladys Lechini 21 de octubre de 2008 Este trabajo aborda las vinculaciones de Argentina con el Reino de Marruecos, en el contexto de sus relaciones con el Norte de África y África, centrando su atención en el período 1989-2007, etapa en la cual se profundizó el acercamiento entre ambos actores y, consecuentemente, el afianzamiento de los lazos bilaterales. Se pretende explicar porqué las relaciones político-diplomáticas y comerciales con Marruecos se intensificaron y avanzaron en el sentido de una convergencia político-comercial, a pesar del descenso del perfil de las relaciones argentino-africanas en la política exterior argentina. El incremento sostenido en la relación bilateral se produjo debido a la implementación de una política por impulsos, de carácter agregativo, que se sostuvo a lo largo de estos veinte años, gracias a las respuestas e insistencia del lado marroquí y a los acercamientos desarrollados por Brasil hacia la región norafricana. Mientras en los noventa se avanzó con el enfoque comercialista, animado por las coincidencias ideológicas resultantes del alineamiento con la potencia hegemónica; en el siglo XXI el enfoque comercialista se acentuó, pero ahora bajo el discurso de la cooperación Sur-Sur. 2 Argentina - Moroco. From impulses to political and commercial convergence (1989-2007) This thesis deals with the relationship between Argentina and Morocco in the broader context of the argentine relations with Africa and North Africa specifically.

Abstract What makes governments decide to engage in cooperation with their neighbours to deliver regional public goods? Under which conditions do they decide to keep this cooperation informal, and when do they instead prefer to formalise it through an international treaty? Why do government seem to be more capable to produce regional public goods in some policy-areas than in others? The present research addresses these questions by analysing the contemporary South American-wide regionalism from 2000 to 2014, the period in which the Initiative for the Integration of Regional

    Explaining Latin American Regionalism in a Changing World i Andrea C. Bianculli Research Fellow, Institut Barcelona d’Estudis Internacionals (IBEI) [email protected] Paper prepared to be presented at FLACSO-ISA Joint International Conference “Global and Regional Powers in a Changing World” Buenos Aires, 23-25 July 2014 University of Buenos Aires, School of Economics Draft – Please do not quote without permission ______________________________________________________________________ 1. Introduction How and why has regionalism changed in Latin America? This paper explores a variety of theories and empirical studies that seek to answer this question. It concentrates primarily on regional initiatives in these countries. In so doing, the paper focuses on literatures in international relations, international political economy and comparative politics given the vague distinction between the international and the national levels that have pervaded the regional literature (Tickner, 2008). The scholarship in question here is largely a product of the last more than 60 years. Still despite the long history of regional cooperation, theoretical analyses have remained minimal until the 1990s, when the study of regions and regionalism came to prominence. Whereas regional projects in Latin America date back to the late 1940s and economic cooperation gained momentum during the following two decades, as these were marred by problems and contradictions because of conflicting interests and expectations, these initiatives faced political deadlocks, did not get off the ground or even collapsed at an early 1 stage. The 1990s, by contrast, witnessed the resurgence of intraregional relations and cooperation. As regional activism deepened and broadened, scholars became interested in investigating and theorizing the conditions under which these new regional impetus had emerged and the extent to which it entailed or not a rupture with the past.

LADB Article Id: 77816 ISSN: 1060-4189 Argentina Leader Visits Cuba, Expects to Expand Trade Relations by LADB Staff Category/Department: Region Published: 1986-10-21 Argentine President Raul Alfonsin arrived in Havana, Cuba Oct. 18 for a 20-hour official state visit, and received the most rousing welcome experienced by a foreign head of state for several years. According to Cuban and Argentine sources, between 200,000 and 300,000 people turned out to meet Alfonsin and his entourage at the Jose Marti International Airport, and along a parade route into downtown Havana. Alfonsin was reportedly quite moved by the reception. The Argentine president's stop in Cuba was the last leg of a four-nation tour including the Soviet Union, Spain and France. Argentine journalists reported that the tour was an "historic one," and particularly the visit to the Caribbean island. Alfonsin's visit to Cuba marks the first of its kind by an Argentine head of state.
