This paper seeks to establish a comparative framework for defining the new regionalism vis-a-vis the old strategy of integration in Latin America. With that end, it applies six levels of analysis: the conceptual background; the criteria of association; the economic model in force; WTO compliance; the preeminence of free trade areas; and institutional relapsing. The objective is to build up more-comprehensive elements for an analytical agenda.
