Abstract

The present work attempts to construct a conceptual framework to examine the complex structure generated by the large number of existing institutions or those in the process of creation in this region. It includes a conceptual exercise on organizations associated with regional integration processes and trade negotiations, which are generically called economic association organizations. In the first place it is about highlighting the diversity and complexity of these organizations, and secondly; show that they cannot be fully understood by purely economic analysis. On the other hand, when introducing the historical dimension, the similarity of regional integration processes with other historical processes stands out. According to this interpretation, current integration processes are nothing more than a modern version of geopolitical transformations that have taken place in the past, so an integrated analysis of these transformations can be carried out.
