El presente artículo propone una explicación racional a las múltiples disfuncionalidades de las relaciones internacionales latinoamericanas relacionadas a los temas de integración política y económica. Por disfuncionalidades se entiende la combinación de una intensa agenda diplomática y la multiplicación de las organizaciones regionales, que suelen mantenerse débiles e incapaces de alcanzar sus metas y objetivos en el tiempo. Para explicar las decisiones de los líderes de adherir a organizaciones que no se institucionalizan, de mantenerse en ellas y de rechazar la opción de salida aun cuando están insatisfechos, se propone una perspectiva analítica que combina elementos políticos, sociales e históricos. Esa perspectiva amplia permite plantear que siempre ha sido racional para los líderes mantener su conducta participativa. Los costos de adhesión a una organización latinoamericana son tradicionalmente bajos, los beneficios de la participación vistos como mayores a los costos y los costos estimados de salida demasiado elevados… hasta ahora.

This article proposes a rational explication to the multiple malfunctions of Latin American international relations dynamics related to political and economic integration. The malfunctions referred to are the combination of an intense diplomatic agenda and the multiplication of weak regional organizations usually incapable of reaching their goals over time. To explain the leaders’ decisions to join organizations of these characteristics, to remain part of them and to refuse the exit option in case of insatisfaction, the article proposes a perspective combining political, social and historical factors. This wider perspective allows to claim that it has always been rational for leaders to maintain their participative behavior. The costs of joining a Latin American organization are traditionally low, the benefits of belonging to one are easily higher than the costs of being excluded, and the estimated costs of exit are simply too high for opting out… until now. |
