Abstract
The State and Regionalism in Latin America: An Elite-Approach during 19th-Century The mainstream studies on regionalism in Latin America have focused on the origins of 20th-Century regional organizations, ignoring the background of regionalism’s processes during the previous century. This paper explains the Hispano-American regionalism during the confederative period (1826–1865) under the insights of Neoclassical Realism. Based on this framework, we identify systemic and domestic variables, which affected Latin American foreign policies in their aim of building a confederation. Paradoxically, the European strategy to prompt a monarchical restoration in Latin America influenced the confederative plan, but the internal political weakness and the impossibility of mobilizing resources determined the failure of this regional initiative. Resumen Los estudios tradicionales sobre regionalismo en America Latina se han centrado en el origen de las organizaciones regionales del siglo XX, ignorando los procesos del siglo previo. Este articulo explica el regionalismo hispanoamericano durante el ciclo de cumbres confederativas (1826–1865) desde la perspectiva del Realismo Neoclasico. De esta manera, identificamos las variables sistemicas y domesticas que incidieron en las politicas exteriores de America Latina con el objetivo de construir una confederacion hispanoamericana. Paradojicamente, la estrategia europea de instaurar el orden monarquico influyo el plan confederativo, pero la debilidad politica interna y la imposibilidad de movilizar recursos, determinaron el fracaso de esta iniciativa regional.
