South"“South Cooperation and the Geographies of Latin America"“Caribbean Integration and Development: A Socio"Spatial Approach

Structured around the case of South"“South cooperation in the construction of "complementary economic zones" among the member states of the ALBA"TCP, Petrocaribe, CARICOM and MERCOSUR, this article argues for a socio"spatial approach to the study of the Latin America"“Caribbean integration and development. Two interrelated arguments are developed: first, in contrast to methodologically nationalist approaches, which typically view the regionalisms that are to form the complementary economic zones as ideologically separate, incompatible or conflicting projects, a socio"spatial approach in conjunction with a South"“South cooperation analytical lens explains their commonality and, subsequently, their interrelatedness and convergence. Second, while this South"“South cooperation space is not per se non"capitalist, a socio"spatial analysis also facilitates "seeing" the production of a socialist "counter"space" within this South"“South cooperation structure.

Resumen

Estructurado sobre el caso de cooperacià³n Sur"“Sur en la construccià³n de "zonas econà³micas complementarias" entre los estados miembros del ALBA"TCP, Petrocaribe, CARICOM y MERCOSUR, este artà­culo argumenta una aproximacià³n socio"espacial al estudio de las geografà­as de integracià³n y desarrollo en Latino América"“Caribe. Dos argumentos interrelacionados se desarrollan: en primer lugar, en contraste con aproximaciones nacionalismo metodolà³gicas, las cuales consideran los regionalismos que forman las zonas econà³micas complementarias como ideolà³gicamente separados, proyectos incompatibles o en conflicto, una aproximacià³n socio"espacial en conjunto con una lente analà­tica de cooperacià³n Sur"“Sur explica sus caracterà­sticas compartidas y, posteriormente, sus interrelaciones y convergencias. En segundo lugar, mientras este espacio de cooperacià³n Sur"“Sur no es per se no"capitalista, un anà¡lisis socio"espacial también facilita "ver" la produccià³n de un "contra"espacio" socialista en esta estructura de cooperacià³n Sur"“Sur.
