“…Moreover, one may argue, it was the deliberate choice of the centre-right to abstain from discursive regionalism as such could antagonize the US as long as it is not couched in hemispheric terms. This may explain the temporal coincidence between post-liberal regionalism (Sanahuja 2009), posthegemonic regionalism (Riggirozzi and Tussie 2012) and the particular understanding of regionalism of the so-called 'pink tide' of Latin American leftist presidents (Gardini 2011).…”

The Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies (RSCAS), created in 1992 and directed by Professor Brigid Laffan, aims to develop inter-disciplinary and comparative research on the major issues facing the process of European integration, European societies and Europe's place in 21 st century global politics. The Centre is home to a large post-doctoral programme and hosts major research programmes, projects and data sets, in addition to a range of working groups and ad hoc initiatives. The research agenda is organised around a set of core themes and is continuously evolving, reflecting the changing agenda of European integration, the expanding membership of the European Union, developments in Europe's neighbourhood and the wider world.

“…The state's Ministries of Foreign Affairs (MFA) still retain the monopoly over policy design (Cason and Power, 2009). Instances of sharing responsibilities with other governmental institutions are rare (Gardini, 2011). Because of this monopoly, strong exclusivity traditions emerge which not only set out blueprints for conduct but also initiate a path‐dependent modus operandi (van Klaveren, 1996; Pierson, 2011b).…”

“…Second, the degree of inclusiveness in decision‐making has to be considered. Within the state apparatus, Latin American foreign policy has traditionally been led by a bureaucratic elite with close presidential ties (Herbert, 1987; Gardini, 2011). The state's Ministries of Foreign Affairs (MFA) still retain the monopoly over policy design (Cason and Power, 2009).…”

“…Lastly, it is important to assess the role that ideology has played in guiding Latin American foreign policy. Gardini (2011) has argued that ideology has been a guiding principle in determining the design and implementation of Latin American policies. Ideology is a powerful explanatory variable as it influences the conceptualisation of national interests and international relations (Hey, 1997).…”

Towards Development‐Oriented Foreign Policy in Latin America: The Cases of Ecuador and Chile

Latin American nations have, in varying degrees, struggled to form a foreign policy which successfully incorporates developmental issues. Through an institutional analysis, this article identifies the institutional frameworks within which a development‐oriented foreign policy (DOFP) is more prone to emerge. It is argued that DOFP has not been able to be consolidated, as foreign policy has primarily remained a tool for regime survival. This is largely because of the institutional exclusiveness and presidentialism embedded in Latin American diplomacy – making foreign policy notoriously vulnerable to regime appropriation. By conducting a comparison between Ecuadorean and Chilean foreign policy, the article sheds light on the institutional components which have allowed the latter to successfully incorporate a development agenda and the former to stumble in its efforts.

“…The institutional outlook of the region reflects this plurality. The number of regional organisations increased and, conversely, the capacity for consensus dwindled, with mixed effects for the division of responsibilities (Dabène, 2016), political polarisation (Gardini, 2011), and regional crisis management (Weiffen, 2017). .…”

Brazilian Regional Leadership Revisited: Testing the Long‐Term Determinants of South American Followership (1995–2015)

Over the last twenty years, Brazil has staked successive claims to regional leadership, with varying explicitness and unclear success. What factors explain the acceptance or rejection of such claims by South American countries? This article summarises the literature on regional powers and frames regional powerhood as arising from geographical belonging, resources, and will to lead; and leadership/followership as stemming from exclusivity, hierarchy/influence, consensus, and provision. By analysing panel data on Brazil and South America from 1995 to 2015, the study concludes that Brasilia enjoyed higher followership in situations characterised by high exclusivity and consensus, and low hierarchy and provision. These conditions were present in South America in the 1990s, thus rendering that decade more receptive to Brazilian leadership.
