Journal Title: Conjuntura Austral: journal of the Global South - Year 2015, Vol 6, Issue 32
Abstract
The purpose of this article is to analyse the recent political tension on the border between Colombia and Venezuela, highlightening Union of South American Nation ́s (UNASUR) role in that context. To achieve this goal, the article undertakes the following movement. At first, I analyse the structrural dimension of the tension between both countries, which is referred to the consolidation of governments that practice politics of opposed orientation. Then, I focus conjunctural aspects, analysing how the crisis was dealt by these countries, and the different roles identified with UNASUL in that context. I wrap the text with observations related to the role of this organization concerning the challenges to regional integration in the present.
