“…First, given the significant number of observations affected-20 of 86 observations-excluding these cases would significantly reduce the degrees of freedom of the empirical tests. Second, previous research (Grieco, 1990;Meunier, 2000) supports the description of the EC as having a "collective interest" in its negotiations with the US If this is true, the inclusion of these cases should not affect the models being tested. Table EH shows the various measures used to operationalize the variables.…”

“…First, not all international relations theorists would agree that in matters of foreign economic policy, states aim to maximize their wealth. Kenneth Waltz (1979), Joanne Gowa (1994) and Joseph Grieco (1990) have all argued that nation-states care about the relative gains from trade, and only secondarily about maximizing absolute wealth. Indeed, the history of section 301 indicates that the US strengthened this sanctions mechanism when it perceived rivals to its economic power (Goldstein, 1993;Bayard and Elliott, 1994).…”

Despite a marked increase in research on economic sanctions, empirical work has been constrained to a set of cases where sanctions are used for political or security issues, i.e., "high politics." Since most theories of sanctions are generalizable to cases of political economy, i.e., "low politics," this ad hoc empirical restriction is puzzling. This paper examines how well the existing theories of economic coercion can explain sanctions used to extract concessions on trade or regulatory issues. These theories are tested on a data set of 86 observations of the United States using or threatening section 301 action against a variety of target states. The results indicate that a conflict expectations approach is able to explain these cases as well as cases of high politics sanctions. Approaches stressing domestic politics or the use of sanctions as signals are of little use.

“…1 Economic cooperation for expanding market opportunities of both regions tends to involve not just a pure coordination problem, but also a distributional problem for gains to be expected. In other words, the problem of 'which region will gain more (market shares and profits)' from the expanded market will be an acute issue between the two regions (Waltz 1979;Grieco 1990). 2 Given the fact that ASEM is still in the initial stage of designing a future course of action, each region will try to avoid being in a bargaining position where they must fight an uphill battle.…”

“…These are the main actors of regionalism, and their greatest concern is their security and power, considering the anarchy of the international system. Regional cooperation and integration are difficult to promote, even if states have common interests, because before beginning to cooperate, states assess the effect of the cooperative agreements on their relative capabilities and the extent to which such cooperation could help preserve or increase these capabilities (Grieco, 1990, p. 30). When states decide to promote integration, they seek to increase their bargaining power and adapt themselves to the changing structure of world power.…”

The Union of South American Nations (UNASUR) is the latest step in the process of construction of a new regionalism in this zone of the Western Hemisphere. The process began in 1993, when former Brazilian President Itamar Franco proposed the creation of a South American Free Trade Area (SAFTA). Fernando Henrique Cardoso continued the process by proposing the establishment of a South American Community of Nations (SACN) in 2000. This was created in 2004 at the Summit of South American Presidents, held in Cusco, Peru. SACN was based on a strategy centered on three pillars: the trade convergence among the Andean Community, the Southern Common Market (Mercosur), Chile, Surinam, and Guyana; promotion of the South American infrastructure; and political cooperation. The increasing leadership of Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez and his criticism of the SACN project led to a change in South American regionalist strategy. The result was the formation of UNASUR in 2008. This article analyzes the process of construction of a new South American regionalism and the extent to which UNASUR could be a successful strategy. La Unión de Naciones Suramericanas (UNASUR) es el último paso en el proceso de construcción de un nuevo regionalismo en esta zona del hemisferio occidental. Este proceso se inició en 1993, cuando el ex presidente brasileño Itamar Franco propuso la creación de una América del Sur Área de Libre Comercio (ALCSA). Fernando Henrique Cardoso continuó el proceso al proponer la creación de una Comunidad Sudamericana de Naciones (CASA) en 2000. Esta última fue creada en 2004 en una Cumbre de Presidentes Sudamericanos celebrada en Cusco, Perú. La CASA estaba basada en una estrategia centrada en tres pilares: la convergencia comercial entre la Comunidad Andina, el Mercosur, Chile, Surinam y Guyana, la promoción de la infraestructura de América del Sur y la cooperación política. Sin embargo, el creciente liderazgo del presidente venezolano Hugo Chávez y su crítica al proyecto de la Comunidad Sudamericana de Naciones llevó a la modificación de la estrategia regionalista de América del Sur. El resultado fue la creación de UNASUR en 2008. Este trabajo analiza todo este proceso de construcción deun nuevo regionalismo de América del Sur y hasta qué punto UNASUR puede resultar una estrategia exitosa.
