Abstract

Once surpassed the dichotomy of the relationship of antagonism or complementarity between the multilateral trading system and the regionalism, there is a clear need for a new approach to the subject. Faced with new features of regionalism and international trade in the twenty-first century, the paper explores some of the new perspectives, with special attention to the proposal of “multilateralizing regionalism”, and the conditions for its realization.
