Abstract

This paper problematizes the conditions of possibilities of the construction of the concept of South American regional citizenship, able to face the undesirable effects of economic globalization. Deviating from the traditional concepts of economic integration and of the construction of regional citizenship grounded on the north global epistemologies, it brings to a discussion that allows the construction of a political and legal framework consistent with the reality of south countries. Methodologically, the research uses a hermeneutic linguistic approach for better appropriation of the (multidisciplinary) literature and treaties collected and interpreted during the study, trying to create, not a “univocal” sense, but an original one which allows the achievement of the conditions of possibility of discussing the challenges and perspectives to the consolidation and the effective fruition of a South American regional citizenship, in order to increase uniform public politics of human rights guarantees, under the theoretical framework of decolonial discussions.
