Liquid Regionalism in Latin America: The Institutional and Trade Dynamics of the Latin American Integration Association by M. E. Morales-Fajardo

“…Rather than evolving into a robust common market, LAIA has primarily functioned as a zone of tariff preferences.This article aims to highlight the fragility of commercial integration within LAIA and to analyze the strong tendency toward extra-regional trade, which undermines the foundational principles of Latin American regionalism.
