Abstract: Este artigo começa por procurar caracterizar as duas grandes tendências da economia mundial surgidas nas décadas de oitenta e noventa: a regionalização e a globalização (I). Seguidamente, é feita uma análise das referidas tendências na perspectiva do Sistema de Comércio Internacional, especificamente a partir do Uruguay Round (1986-1993), da criação da Organização Mundial do Comércio e da simultânea proliferação mundial de acordos de integração regional (II). Por fim, apresenta-se uma visão geral do «regionalismo europeu», acentuando duas vertentes: o reforço da integração europeia (o mercado interno e a União Económica e Monetária) e o alargamento para Leste e Sul (inclusão de países do Leste europeu e do Mediterrâneo) (III).
Cet article commence para analyser les deux principales tendances de l’économie mondiale pendant les vingt dernières années: la régionalisation et la mondialisation (I). Dans la suite, on présente une analyse de cet aspect dans la perspective du Système de Commerce International, particulièrement à partir de l’Uruguay Round (1986-1993), de la création de l’Organisation mondiale du commerce et de la prolifération simultanée d’accords d’intégration régionale dans le monde entier (II). Finalement, on offre une perspective globale du «régionalisme européen», soulignant deux aspects: le renforcement de l’intégration européenne (le marché intérieur et l’Union économique et monétaire) et l’élargissement vers l’est et le sud (aux pays de l’Europe de l’Est et de la Méditerranée) (III).
In this paper, an attempt has firstly been made to characterise two main tendencies emerging in the world economy during the eighties and the nineties: régionalisation and globalisation (I). We analyse these tendencies looking at the development of the International Trade System, in particular after the conclusion of the Uruguay Round (1986-1993), the setting up of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) and the simultaneous proliferation of regional integration agreements (RIAs) all over the world (II). Finally, a general view of «European regionalism» is presented, emphasising the double movement towards the increase of European integration (European internal market and the economic and monetary union) and the new enlargements to the Eastern and the Southern frontiers (the Eastern European countries and Mediterranean countries) (III).
