Abstract

[The rupture of the Americas into two camps, one centered on the United States and the other centered on the on Southern Common Market (Mercado Común del Sur—MERCOSUR), at the Mar del Plata Summit of the Americas in 2005 persists to this day. Notably, this rupture has been framed in terms of two different visions of economic development in terms of a new phase of “post-neoliberal” development in Latin America and/or conflicting leadership ambitions for the hemisphere between the United States and Brazil.1 The dominant explanation for this division has centered on the general disenchantment with the neoliberal policies that predominated in the hemisphere during the 1990s. This discontentment with neoliberalism contributed to a leftist electoral wave throughout Latin America that put in place leaders who opposed a hegemonic American presence in the hemisphere.2 Broadly, the rise and fall of the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) and the rise of South American regional integration schemes, such as the Union of South American Nations (Unión de Naciones Suramericanas—UNASUR) and the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America (Allianza Bolivariana para los Pueblos de Nuestra América—ALBA), has been conceptualized as part of a hemispheric Polanyian “double-movement” against neoliberalism.]
