Con esta cruda frase el presidente argentino Mauricio Macri describió al mismo bloque que durante su campaña electoral había considerado el círculo primario de inserción internacional del país en su ansiada “vuelta al mundo” y “retorno del ostracismo”. Lo interesante es que tal aseveración se dio en plena negociación con la Unión Europea y dejó en claro su predisposición para avanzar en un acuerdo de libre comercio. En este marco, y habiendo abandonado “temporalmente” su membrecía en la Unión de Naciones Suramericanas (Unasur), es justo preguntarse qué tipo de estrategia hacia América Latina ha venido desarrollando la administración Cambiemos. Ante este panorama, el artículo analiza el posicionamiento nacional sobre el regionalismo, partiendo de una discusión previa sobre las nociones de región, regionalización, regionalidad y regionalismo.“Mercosur is the most isolated and protectionist block in the world.” The Argentine president Mauricio Macri described in that way this subregional platform. Even when during his electoral campaign he considered Mercosur the core of the Argentinean international insertion, as part of the so-called country’s “return to the world” and “back from ostracism”. This assertion was made in the middle of the negotiation process with the European Union, expressing his willingness to move forward in a free trade agreement. In this context, and taking into account the later “temporal” relinquishment of Macri’s administration to the Union of South American Nations (Unasur), the article analyzes what kind of strategy towards Latin America has been developed by Cambiemos. In this sense, it reflects on the national positioning on regionalism, starting with a previous discussion on the notions of region, regionalization, regionness and regionalism.application/pdf124-151spaopenAccessIntegración regionalRegionalismoCambiemosMacri, MauricioArgentinaRegional integrationRegionalismarticleAutor y ESE.
