Abstract

This paper is a review of the book “Las teorías de la Integración regional: más alla del eurocentrismo” written by Briceño Ruiz and published in 2018 by “Centro de Pensamiento Global”. The book represents the evolution of the author's ideas, where he not only values the praxis and the theories of the Global South, but also expresses his criticism of the uncritical understandings and applications of European theory in the comprehension of other regional integration initiatives. This lead us to believe that this author's work represents a point of the intersection between the discipline of International Regionalism and the decolonial movement that also questions Eurocentrism from the Geopolitics of Knowledge and the Colonization of Knowledge.
